Abstract
A motorized zone valve assembly permits the servicing and/or replacement of a motorized zone valve in a hydronic heating and/or cooling system. The motorized zone valve assembly includes isolation valves coupled to the incoming and outgoing ports of the motorized zone valve via union nuts. The isolation valve members can be closed to permit the removal of the motorized zone valve by the loosening of the two union nuts. In addition, the isolation valve coupled to the outgoing port can include a drain valve and drain port to permit the isolation and draining of individual zones of the hydronic system.
