Central Heating Problems - sorry!

Once again, I will have another bash with this information fresh in mind; I am sure as there are only two outlets the valve is a two-port valve, I had it set to manual for refilling.

I know the sun is hot - apart from that, my knowledge on heating systems and plumbing is limited, and I do really appreciate the comments.

Em, if it has two outlets it's a three port.

or are there two two ports, but in any case check the arrow on the pump is facing towards the valve/s

Sorry, even my terminology is wrong - the pipe comes in and goes out, I meant there are two holes, the valve is fitted a little way along the pipe from a T connection, the main pipe I am pretty sure goes into the hot water tank.

 

[kevplumb]

so you have got a zone valve on the hot water

 

[doitall]

so is the arrow facing the valve,

manually open the valve and try the rads in hot water mode do they get hot.

 

[planenut]

So would having a zone valve on the heating mean that there will be two zones, maybe an upper and a lower floor?

(Again, apologize for the sort of questions you've heard loads of times!)

 

[doitall]

no it means there's normally one for the heating and one for the hot water

cant the housekeeper has hid my crayons and i,m not allowed anything sharp

 

[planenut]

What can I say - these comments and the information is priceless!

I have seen, some time back on the forum, reference to the drawings and I will look back for them - I did wonder how to refer to the system and the nearest I came was "&" (well that's what it looks like to me), but I prefer your suggestion.

Haven't got back there yet as my other heating problem (elsewhere) is the priority - thank you.
