In this video, the heat is running continuously because the Honeywell 4 wire zone valve is stuck open. We replace it.

Fabulously executed diagnosis, MP. Thanks for the clear and succinct lesson about Honeywell zone valves. Whoever would thumb down a video like this doesn't understand that there's a learning curve for these things and not everyone has the capacity to explain them.
I don’t know jack about heating/cooling or plumbing, but man I love watching your videos. Keep up the great customer service and have a wonderful weekend!

To the frickin moon!!! Mike great content !! I love that you have parts ready to rock and roll . Have a blessed sunday
Nice job keeping Long Islanders warm. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Loving the wago’s. Just got some after seeing you used them. They do all the way from 28 gauge to 12 gauge. Its a no brainer.
Also they can hang to a single wire of any allowed size, so you can terminate a cable end with them, turn power back on and continue the job later. Often with wires on the thinner side, with the nuts you would have to take wire clippings and bend them to a loop to insert within, otherwise the nut mght pull off accidentally. And then, they don't eat away on stranded wires.
Always watch from Texas.. Your videos are always interesting..
Nice find of the sticky zone valve.....
Nice work, Thanks for posting!
hey Mikey.. I fixed my "Polish" Heater !!.. what's that ?.. I run hot water in the kitchen sink, then when it's really hot I fill an empty 2 liter bottle (pepsi) and put the cap on tight... that bottle stays hot for 2 hours!!. I just carry it around with me.. I figure as long as I'm warm it doesn't matter what the room temp is.. :) Great Videos you have!!.. thanks for making them!... by the way, I didn't mean to offend anyone by referring to my "Polish" Heater... if anything it's a Credit to our friends of polish descent!! I got the idea from my polish neighbor!! :) genius! :) keep up the great work Mikey and thanks again!!
The United Nations are always looking for ambassadors and engineers.
Hey Philip if you want to take that polish heater to the next level have a couple shots of polish brandy🥃👍 with that warm water bottle 👍
@@danieljanowiec1324 LOL Dan... great idea!! thanks... Bottoms up! and Cheers!!
Awesome as always Saint Mike!
Realistically you need to get the wago junction box then zip tie it to something, make the job look a lot better than leaving live wires waving about.
Honeywell Zone Valve i like work you do, I never seen wires all over
Mike
Thank you for your best video.
And best way explain
I feel like I am working with you right now
Gotta get me some of them Wagos! Plenty of wiring jobs around the house I need to do!
Mike on solid wire you can push them in the wago and they also have two test ports.
The best way to make zone valve wiring look better is to mount a 1900 box with a 3/4 conduit clamp right over or under the valves, put a knockout bushing on them to protect the wires from chaffing and make all the connections inside the 1900 box. Throw a cover on and it looks like it was meant to be there.
Wagos wagos wagos you loving those things LOL keep your boots dry
Are you aware that when you coil those wires, you are making an iductive circuit ( a coil of wire with a current flowing through it , is an inductor) ; there is also induction in the small motors that close and open those valves. I am only guessing , but that extra induction may be causing the motors to become less affective? I am not there testing only looking at what I can see. Feel free to laugh at me. However unecessary induction in circuits can be a pain and so easily overlooked.
Here in UK we usually just change the motor rather than the full head, we have the same Holywell motors but out wire are. Brown = open the motor, blue = neutral, yellow and green = earth, grey = permanent live, orange = feed to switch the boiler on. (Orange and grey is just the micro switch wires)
Do you have to use wire nuts at all or Wago can do all.thinking of buying some wago
Zone valve wiring is easy ,even if it's a mess it's simple to rewire a basic series circuit for motor and parallel circuit for end switch wires .
did an 8 zone wiring mess...after 2 hrs of tracing and trouble-shooting the rat's nest....cut all the wiring and put in a nice zone controller.
A couple zip ties go a long way in tidiness.
Also we use wagos here in the UK alot and been around here for years.
Wagos are awesome, use them any chance I get
who is the new guy? new hire?
How did it feel to use both hands this time?
Another nice job! 👍👍
So for example if you were running or needed a total of 3.5 amps on your low voltage circuit, example air handler with a damper system, that also is using a humidifier. 40VA divided by 24 would be 1.67 ,that wouldn't be enough. So we would increase or VA.
U can wire 2 transformers in parallel wayne,you would do this to increase your VA.Although the 2 transformers should be same make,I have found out that if u use 2 different manufacturers you can get in trouble there.But you can wire 2 in parallel.
They need to be matched pairs or one will circulate current in the other and burn it out. Not a good idea. Get a bigger one or run them independent. Those two were not only different sizes, they were different manufacturers and different ages. Mike swapped to the newer one and got her going.
Wago 221 are great. Way less cu.in. than 222. I skip PTC's whenever there will be service.
Mikey i always take a picture before disconnecting even a simple circuit.you had your Saturday spaghetti dinner on the job.
What happen at the end ???
Mikey Pipes I need some advise.. My furnace exhaust pipe is on the west side of the house and it 3 ft from my bedroom window. My problem is I like to keep my window a little open all year around. But I'm getting the exhaust coming in. The wind is always coming from the west, north west or south west. Also I live in Michigan. My question is can I extend the exhaust pipe up above the roof line? Would hurt the performance of the Furnace? Please help
@@PipeDoctor thank you
Nice job Mikey.👍You provided a much better service to the customer than the installer did - that wiring was a shit show and difficult to comprehend why they would think having all those wires snaking unprotected all over the boiler and pipework was a good idea. Zone valves are a service part - would it not have been better (if the original installer) had install these with compression fittings?
That was a real rats nest of wires you had there! I hate coming behind a slob that left something like that!
Hey Mikey great job I want to ask you when is Calvin coming back To work....I hope soon Spring is here..... Go Long Island
Another way to tell if its the old style honeywell: They had an orange gasket behind the motor head that attaches on the body.
@@PipeDoctor I don't have a picture but you can see what im talking about in GFM's video. ruclips.net/video/VE1wa033USA/видео.html
New style power head will have 2 screws holding head and old style has 4, you'd have to open water way to remove old style zone valve head , newer ones can be changed without opening water way .
I Thought for sure it was gonna be an end switch that was stuck closed, seen that a million times.Mikey what were u first doing with your screwdriver 🪛🤔, never seen that before,what was that all about.Please elaborate, thx Saint MIKEY.MY FAVORITE U TUBE SHOW,YOU DO A GREAT JOB REPPIN STRONG ISLAND!!!
Woawoawoa so wait what happened when you turned the damned thermostats on?!?! Did you short it out or somethin why wouldn’t you put the outcome?! Lmao this killed me!! I need to know how it ends!!!!!
Well done!
Leggo my Wago! Your an addict!
I would love to buy Mikey pipes shirts or sweatshirts.
You got any of those for sale?
Never seen acuator like that, only caleffi and erie.
Took you like 40 seconds to figure that one out bro.
Some customers don't even realize how lucky they are to have you show up.
Nevermind, my bad I see them.
Sweet I'm going to get some.
Funny just noticed one of my zones was still hot when no call for heat. Was thinking if mp had a video on honeywell valves.
Supply house sells just the zone head btw
Thanks for the video 🙂
You can also buy a conversion kit to convert the old style zone valve to new style zone valve with removable power head .
Why do most zone valves look like a plate of spaghetti! Drives me crazy!
@@jeffreyjohn2037 it's gotta be neat,drives me bonkers,in like that with piping,wiring,don't take any l9nger to make it nice!
I was looking at the start thinking there’s too many wires for a transformer and two thermostats!
Looks bad cause there’s no electrical box. Even though it’s low voltage. Just cleaner.
Ah
What happened to the ending?🤔
I'll wait.
Stay safe.
Retired keyboard super tech.
Wear your safety glasses.
Time is money, But if you had the time and they had the money, cut that rats nest out and wire it the way you want it so the next guy could figure it out also.
Messy zone valve wiring drives me INSANE! It makes almost any install look "less than professional".
I hate it even more when someone else has already replaced the zone valve and just adds more wire nuts to the mess
Let go of my wago.
what the fuck is going on with that water heater exhaust?
It looks like it is completely rusted and falling off the top hat

do not need 2 transformers only 2 zones if it was me rip it all out use 1 transformer rewire problem solved
