Honeywell V4073A - Can I remove motor and manually control?

[Ollie9]

When my previous switchmaster valve 'blew-up' I removed the electrical part and manually adjusted it daily until I could afford a new 3 way valve.

Can this be done on the Honeywell??? I.e. remove the motor and just use it mechanically??

If your valve has a dimple on the silver cover then yes it can be removed and you could make up something to operate the valve bearing in mind that the valve needs to retained in the selected position.The actuator head does that for you.A new head is relatively cheap and can be DIY'd.

Why do you want to do that? Has the valve stopped working? If so, it might just be the motor which needs replacing (DIY about £20) or it may be a fault elsewhere.
