I have a Honeywell 2 port valve (which looks like a silver box) which is situated close to my boiler. This valve has a small lever at the bottom of it. What I want to know is does this lever move when the valve is in operation? Im sure it used to but at the moment it does not....
...which leads me on to why I've posted this topic. When I put the hot water on, the boiler (a 10 year old baxi solo) will run for about 10 mins before the overheat light comes on, followed by banging in the pipes. I basically want to know whether the 2 port valve may be malfunctioning, causing this problem. I had a BG engineer in but all I got from him was "flush the system" so I want to do some detective work myself.
Hope someone can help.
