I have just replaced the faulty 25 year old TA/M4 valve on my heating system with a Drayton MA1/679-3 mid-postion valve. The TA/M4 connected to a RB 2 relay. Do I still need the relay? I have connected to the relay in the same way as the TA/M4 was but the MA1 does not energise (or is the relay faulty in which case what do I replace it with?). The wiring diagrams are not clear!

Looking for a smarter way to manage your heating this winter? We’ve been testing the new Aqara Radiator Thermostat W600 to see how quiet, accurate and easy it is to use around the home. Click here read our review.
Question on replacing TA/M4 with MA1/679-3.

I believe a fair bit of rewiring will be required as your new valve, IIRC, doesn't need the relay, also the TA/M4 I think used a heating off and not a water off.
I couldn't say how to do the job without seeing it and testing the power/wires.
