Taco 571-2 Zone Valve 3/4", 2-Way

It's good

Kind of 'spensive, but great quality. Cool wiring diagram explaining how there is a common point in two actually separate circuits. Don't overheat the valve body, cause you could damage it. Generally you won't have trouble, but I really torchured (pun intended) one, and had that happen. Just know if you put fire on it forever without adequate protection from the heat, you will need to buy another one (to have it shut off). The one I ruined was in a hard to solder spot. A quality, proven product - basic design on the market for ... who knows, 40+ years. When I think of zone valves, I think of these. Love them. Wish I saw more of them and put more in.

Price

I had this valve for a couple of months before installation. When I did put it in the actuator was faulty causing the valve to be stuck open. I removed and replaced the actuator but obviously was not going to un-sweat the valve body from the piping to return it. I tried to contact customer support but have been ignored. Go to home depot and buy these. They will look after you better if you have a problem.

I received the valve with little defected in the hold, I have to filed it down really good before i can fitted the copper pipe in.
