In short: when ever i turn on just HW on my CH system, the rads get warm. I have just replaced the actuator head (a 4 wire one) of the valve and I believe this is working correctly: i.e. the motor spins when I turn the CH on, then returns when i turn it off. We have manually turned the valve (without the actuator head) in to a position that doesn't allow the rads to get warm, but we can get hot water. We have married up the ports (A/B) on the actuator and valve itself and have to assume it was installed correctly (we have just moved in). Could the valve be bunged up (it spins OK using fingers) or could the mounting plate be 90 degs out? I believe the previous owners who lived there for 3 years just turned on the immersion when they wanted hot water so i dont know when it was last used properly. Hopefully someone can decipher my message.
