B&G ZONE VALVES

Paul_15

I have 3/4" B&G valves installed on a hydronic baseboard job. The Bonnet and interals are always failing. The system has recently had "No-Burst" added to the system. Can this glycol be destroying the internals of the valve?

Or is this just a Piece of Junk valve?

Thanks

Check the fluid

while it's not my favorite valve, frequent failures are probably not the fault of the valve. My guess is the ph has dropped and the fluid is attacking the seals.

Buy a ph tester, or take a sample to a chemical supplier familiar with glycol testing. Most glycol manufactures will also accept a "mailed in" sample for a complete check.

Unless they have changed their design they were in my experience just about total junk with or without propylene glcol. The most troublesome by far that I ever used.
