Hey ! Great Video! Yup if its a Pop Top its easy! BUT..... Do you know whether a drip coming out under the actuator would mean the valve itself needs a rebuild kit? (has O rings as part of the rebuild kit)....Or....could an actuator cause any drip/leak?
I think it would need a rebuild kit as you stated. The actuator is a dry component. It has no interaction with water. Hope you get the leak fixed easily.
To manually open the valve, you have to push the lever to the right and lock it in that position by pushing the tab in to the lever catch. When the zone activated automatically the lever does not move to the right, however you can see the lever sit slightly lower when it is open. Hope this helps.
the switch just closes when the valve is fully open, closing the connection on the red wires which will initiate the boiler to fire and circulator pump to turn on. If you have it connected to an outdoor wood boiler, which is always on due to burning wood, those wires must not be needed.
THANK YOU! I was also looking for a video on replacing these for my multi-zone boiler. Your video was exactly what I needed.
That's exactly what I was looking for, my actuator was broken so I was wondering if it's okay if I manually keep the valve open? if not, why not?

Which position should the lever on top be in to get heat to flow to that area right or left?

Mine does not have the red wires connected, the. Are for a switch, but does the switch do anything, this is on outdoor wood boiler, bypass valve?
