DraytonDrayton MA1 22mm 3 Port Mid Position Motorised Valve

Purchased this motorised valve to replace an old drayton one so i stuck with the same make to be on the safe side and its all working i can now have hot water without having the heating on the same time as where i couldn't with the old one as it was sticking in one position but its great.

Not used yet as my original came back to life. However having had the actuator and valve replaced at different times in the past, this purchase gives me peace of mind and is not hard to fit - saving a stack of money. Really pleased with being able to buy the replacement part. Superb

I have had an older version of this valve fitted for years. This went faulty and required a newer version.After fitting it worked perfectly. Then two days later it stopped working.I didn't have time to check it as was away for four days, so house was cold.On return I took the top cover off and found the geared motor unit had fallen off and the screws had come out. Luckily after tightening the screws it is all working again.Repairing new items is not something I should have to do, please check your manufacturing procedures.

Replacement for existing unit. Should fit ok

This mid position valve is a lovely piece of equipment and still (supposedly) British built. The brasswork is a joy to behold for anyone that appreciates engineering quality. I only really needed the actuator, but realised that it was cheaper to buy the full 'kit'. Doubtless I will need the plumbing part of the kit one day.HRH solutions were 'on the ball' with delivery and the item arrived in roughly 24hrs after my last Amazon click.All in all a very good result! Thank-you Amazon and thank-you HRH

I am happy to say this item was easy to fit and worked immediately, we had no dramas at all. :)

Used one star rating to highlight an issue with the new MA1 I received.Many diy customers must buy this unit as a straight replacement to try and fix an issue with their central heating system. The last thing you expect when buying a new unit is to find out (after some serious head scratching) that the new unit is faulty. This is my experience with a new MA1.My system is a fully pumped vented cyl hw and ch system with the ability to run hw and ch separately. After fitting the new unit I still only had hot water despite the valve moving as expected and the room stat and cyclinder stat calling for heat. Problem diagnosed as a poorly seated circuit board in the new unit, that meant the microswitch was not in contact with the lever cam and hence the unit did not call the boiler.Quite a head scratcher.Watch out for poor packaging and before you fit the unit check that you can hear the microswitch switch when you move the manual lever to the ch position. Once sorted the unit works fine :-)

Bought as a spare since existing MA1 was sticking.After a couple of months, MA1 in situ died - went to replace it with this one - FAULTY AND DAMAGED.Sellers refuses to replace or refund.As PlumbHub/Ozone Heating Suppliers are NOT AN OFFICIAL DRAYTON RETAILER - the Drayton warranty is NOT VALID."I can confirm Ozone Heating Supplies are NOT a customer of ours and they do not purchase their goods direct from us.""Unfortunately I am unable to comment regarding this purchase as the retailer is not a direct customer of ours""If you had purchased this from one of our direct customers (Plumbase, Plumb Center, PTS, Screwfix Travis Perkins, Jewson etc) they would have replaced like for like given the fact that the unit was still in warranty with us, which would enable them to return the item to us for credit if said item was found to be faulty."AVOID.
