MOTORISED VALVES

 

 The actuator head of a ACL Lifestyle 2-port motorised valve (679H308-30L1) has failed. Is it still possible to get the actuator for this valve to avoid draining the whole system?

This range of valves and actuators are now obsolete. Your only option is to drain down the system and fit ZA 5/6 zone valve.

The head of my MA1 Actuator is hot, is this normal?

Yes, the motor in the head is constantly energised regardless of position and will create a small amount of heat.
