How to Replace the Diverter Valve on a ATAG iC Economiser 27 (UK)

Step-by-step UK guide to replacing the 3-way diverter valve on a ATAG iC Economiser 27. Part numbers, torques, commissioning.

ATAG

The part

Replace the diverter valve on ATAG iC Economiser 27 when hot water runs cold on demand or the boiler cycles between CH and DHW.

Isolate safely

Drain to below the diverter body via the CH drain-off. On ATAG iC Economiser 27 the diverter is a cartridge design — pull the retaining clip and lift out.

Fit and commission

Fit new O-rings, silicone-grease the cartridge and align the actuator drive slot before refitting the motor.

Recommission checklist

Refill the ATAG iC Economiser 27 to 1.2 bar cold. Bleed high-point radiators and the internal AAV.

Run a full flue-gas analysis after 15 minutes. Log the reading against the OEM commissioning envelope in the Benchmark book.

Frequently asked questions

Actuator or cartridge only?
Diagnose first: manually push the actuator pin. If it moves freely, replace the actuator only; if the pin sticks, the cartridge is scaled.
Any special tools?
A brass spanner or the OEM diverter tool avoids cracking the plastic body on ATAG iC Economiser 27.
Do I need to notify the manufacturer?
Only if the ATAG iC Economiser 27 is in warranty — ATAG require log of any part swap for labour claims.
