VIS Balance Valve

Fraser Mitchell · 17th February 2009, 21:33

Hi Folks

I now have a new VIS motor for the balance valve, (the one at the back of the manifold). I thought I ought to clean the valve itself and check it moves freely. How does it come out, just a pull ?

Any recommendations on keeping it operational would be welcome.

It shouldn't be tight or feel stuck at all. Yes it's a close fit but the little motor has to move it so you shouldn't find much resistance.

The one on the manifold I sold just slid out.

Keeping the actuators operational involves periodical opening, cleaning and sealing back. The most affected part is the micromotor which is permanently collecting oil.
