Honeywell

Part

Honeywell evohome HR92 — HR92UK smart head. Confirm 15 mm or 22 mm tail before ordering.

Drain and remove

Isolate boiler. Drain enough to drop the affected rad — usually 2–3 L per rad below flow level. Undo old valve with two spanners to prevent copper twist.

Fit and balance

4–5 wraps PTFE clockwise on the tail. Nip up the union. Refill, add inhibitor, bleed. Balance by closing the lockshield to give an 11 °C ΔT across the rad at design flow.
