Getting close to a combined UFH and rads installation fed from a condensing combi. I want to wire for UFH priority as that will have a greater operating window due to the setback temperature. Initial thoughts had been: use a second digistat to fire the boiler for the single UFH zone, pop a zone valve on the rads flow wired to the house digistat in order to fire boiler and open the rads when required.
Q1. Would it be better to use a mid-pos valve to achieve: Output to UFH / Output to rads / Output to UFH & rads -- it gives me a rads only option.
Assuming standard Honeywell colour scheme, looks like I will be leaving the grey 'hold in last position' live when no heat is required and I'm concerned that the orange output is listed as ~100v. Their guide does not recommend leaving the valve permanently energised, is it likely to be 'held' in the at rest or mid position anyway, I see the normal S-plan wiring will do much the same thing.
Q2. Is this good practice or am I reading too much into this? Q3. Providing the boiler switched live with 240/100v rather than 240/0v surely that can't be a good thing?
THis is the wiring logic: At rest > valve to port B (UFH) White live > valve to port A&B (UFH & rads) White & grey live > valve to port A (rads), 240v on orange Grey live > hold valve in last position, ~100v on orange
