Tower TFC 28mm 2 Port Zone Valve

The TOWER TFC 28mm 2 Port Zone Valve (VAL228MV) controls water flow in central heating systems with precision and reliability. This 28mm 2 Port Zone Valve uses a spring return actuator to open and close automatically, ensuring accurate control of heating and hot water circuits.

You can wire the valve with a room thermostat, cylinder thermostat, and programmer to manage water flow from the boiler to heating zones. The 28mm compression fittings allow quick and secure installation in larger heating systems where higher flow rates are required.

The valve includes an auxiliary switch (SPST) for system control and a manual override lever for easy operation during installation or servicing. It handles high temperatures and pressure while maintaining consistent performance in both domestic and light commercial applications.
