Switch master not been made for well over 10 years .BG. never had a replacement head for them after they went out of production so can`t see them having one in last few years and considring price they get new motorised valves for i can`t see them going to expense now of stockin a special or anyone making them

The BG heads look exactly the same but don't fit the switchmaster valve bodies...just replace the complete valve.

I've just spotted this post after creating a similar one. I'm not sure what the conclusion here is i.e can a replacement swicthmaster director valve be bought (i.e is it same as a drayton model?) or can I replace with a different make but keep rest of my wiring etc the same? I would even settle for a manual valve solution if that was a possibility.
thanks

Have they gone out of business or something? "The page cannot be found" ...


Oh, this works: http://www.invensyscontrolseurope.com/InvensysControlsEurope/en

Or at least the link works - the website is another matter altogether. I wonder if their valves are put together as badly?
