Banco replacement heating valves - any good ?

Oct 10, 2013 2 Replies

Hi all, long time no post here.



I'm slightly surprised not to be able to find discussion - here or elsewhere - of Banco motorised valves as Honeywell replacements. Since they're about quarter of the price I assumed they'd be either hailed as the bee's knees or would throw up warnings from people who'd tried them.



So, anyone any experience of them ? Has my Google-fu let me down ? I only need the synchronous motor in fact and Banco do sell these for direct replacement, available for a mere 16 squid. Don't need it to last another 20 years as the system will be well up for replacement before then, this is really just a stop gap. But equally I don't want to install a crock that will fail before I get the place fixed up and sold :-)



Thanks for any comments or alternatives,



Nick


Last time I looked, new replacement motors for honeywell and similar valves were less than a tenner on ebay.

So they are, thanks, I missed that - only saw entire valves before. Sorry for the noise, I'll let you all go back to sleep ;-)

Thanks

Nick
