Could anyone please tell me why my Rads get hot at the same time as my hot water. I have the room stat turned right down and the Controller on hot water only. The valves appear to be working ok, but I'm no expert. I have a pumped system. Thanks.

If the lever on the outside appears to moving as it should, could there still be a problem with the inner workings?

Yes the spring will be pulling the valve closed but it won't be making a tight seal for some reason and the water will pass into the heating circuit even though it's closed
Agile said:You should be able to work out from the lever if the valve is in the correct position, A, A+B or B for the required heat demand.
Its always possible that there is a control fault, perhaps the timeclock or room thermostat has failed.
If everything else is really correct then the wet part of the valve can have failed. An occasional problem is the moving rubber ball comes off the pivot or disintergrates.

Valve not closing
System not plumbed in right.
Faulty wiring to new components.
