This video dives into how Taco 3-wire zone valves work, the internal components, how to wire them and how to use a multimeter to test them.
Learn about the 2 different 24 volt circuits involved in Honeywell zone valve wiring, how a zone valve works, where the voltage originates, how your thermostat and boiler communicate and follow simple wiring diagrams that show how to wire it all up.
Learn how Honeywell Zone Valves work internally, how they are wired to thermostats and boilers and see them in action as they operate on a powered, working display model.
How to breakdown over 20+ zone valve, thermostat and boiler wires and connect it all together properly in 5 easy steps. Includes 5-Step Cheat Sheet.
Bonus Material: Learn how to wire in a boiler shut off switch, a 120v to 24v transformer and a low water cut-off for residential hydronic boilers.
This course focuses on Honeywell 4 wire and Taco 3 wire zone valves used in residential hydronic (water) boiler systems. Learn how they work internally, how to wire them and how to use a multimeter to perform a few diagnostic tests. You will see how they work in action via a working model with a camera close up of the internals in action. This course also includes a professional tactic on how to make sense of the spaghetti mess of 20+ or even 30+ low voltage wires easily in 5 simple steps, which includes a downloadable cheat sheet for reference.
This course was developed by a working, lead HVAC mechanic with 30+ years of trade experience who trains new HVAC techs, mechanics and installers within the HVAC industry every day. It is designed for HVAC trade school students, beginners working in the HVAC trade and even curious DIYers/homeowners who just want to know more about how the boilers in their homes actually work. This course very nicely simplifies one of the hardest to learn aspects of residential boilers for new HVAC techs and installers. My own HVAC helper began wiring zone vales entirely on his own after watching these videos that I made just for him. Now these videos are available for you to learn as well!
