Honeywell V8043 Zone Valve replacement

System is 21 years old and am replacing most components and the NTI condensing boiler. Boiler crapped out which is what instigated the project. It was recommended to me to replace all 3 zone valves. These are my options:

  1. just replace the powerheads,
  2. replace powerheads and ball valves, but keep existing housings,
  3. replace entire housing and powerheads.

The brass housing looks fine to me and it would be way easier just to replace the guts. They all worked fine last heating season. Thanks in advance

    If they worked fine last winter, I would just keep some parts on hand. 23 years no one has a crystal ball to predict how long they will last.

    If they are not leaking, you could take them apart and clean and inspect. If everything is ok continue on with spare parts on hand.
