Yes, although ironically the big name you are talking about have the best diverter lol

I'm a different type of engineer but own one of these. Brilliant description of how it works. You kept is simple, to the point, and explained the operation. Not sure about o-rings being rotated many times as they seat though.

This is an excellent video, I think a customers boiler has a diverter valve issue for hot water not working, rather then a block heat exchanger

Is there a spec sheet for these valves which gives the value of pressure that causes the auto bypass function to open?

@extranow 3 жыл бұрын

hi, what model and brand of the 3-way valve in the video? thank you

@mikepeck9260 Жыл бұрын

it would appear my diverter valve is whining when on heat and you can hear it slowly close as it switched to DHW, i can replace the whole assembly it seems but could not find the cartridge itself. Do you know where i could just get the cartridge for a Laars Mascot HT 330? looks identical to the valves in this video

@daddybassi 4 жыл бұрын

It's a great vid. The cartridge isn't suited for the boiler that have a bypass. I'm afraid you would need to fit the complete diverter valve.

Hello, my question is the following: When the boiler is off, where is the three-way valve positioned towards the heating systems or the sanitary water? Thanks

@SayWhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat 9 ай бұрын

Where setting is set. You can set it. Also manufacturers can change default. My baxi was on central heating default value where it always returns. You can have 3 values. Dhw, HC or Last requested - aka do not go back,stay where you are

I have a horrendous whistle from my boiler and it seems if I flex the diverter valve head the whistle stops. It got so bad I wedged a bit of wood in there but then the whistling started again…always seemed to be within the first few minutes of the heating coming on. Replaced the head but hasn’t solved the issue. Could this be cartridge related? Or something completely different.

The top on the diverter valve leaked back in 2020 and was replaced in early 2021, now its leaking again on my Main eco compact.

@colingraham9281 Жыл бұрын

Its a common fault on these boilers, including the Potterton sister boilers. The rubber o rings on the cartridge break down and cause the assembly to leak. I had 5 changed on my original Potteton Gold 33 between 2015 and 2018. They even exchanged the boiler for free after changing the cartridge 3 times, the valve once, and the whole manifold once. The new boiler, installed in 2018 had a new diverter cartridge fitted in 2019 under warranty. It's failing again now even with a Magnaclean filter inline, regular servicing and a system flush before both installs. I cannot fault Baxi customer service, but would I buy one of their boilers in the future? No chance.

This diverter has been replaced 4 maybe 5 times in 7 years on my baxi duotech 24 he, any idea why this fails so often, also recently noticed hot water temp gauge goes over 60 when its set to 50, it also exceeds 65 which is supposed to be the max, do you think there is a fault with something or is this just normal for baxis

@Stillbusy105 3 жыл бұрын

Normal for Baxi, buy cheap buy 4 maybe 5 times...

@@offplanetevent Ahhh, you need to run a 780 volt 32mm modular cable between the inlet orifice diode and the niobium oxide multi faceted capacitors and adjust where necessary with an 8lb pin hammer. If this doesn't work, I would advise quickly procuring a paddle, you'll need it where you're going.
