First guy that knows how to explain it..2 heating companys couldnt diagnose the problem.. with this i fixed the problem myself.it wasn't closing and just kept heating thank you your the man👍

I have 6 of these White Rodgers 1311's and one zone sporadically fails to pass hot water past the valve. This is one of the best DIY videos I have ever come across as an HVAC noob. My confidence in approaching a fix went from very little to 100% sure I might not have to call a pro.

This is by far the best tutorial I have ever seen on YouTube. Magnificent explanation covering every aspect of this valve. Thank you.

Excellent tutorial! You can work on my heating system anytime. I drew an electrical schematic of my 3 zone system, and identified the Open, Close, and 24V wires to each thermostat before I figured out that the technician from Xcel energy had completely ignored the wiring instructions of the new thermostat he installed. It now works properly.

Thank you for the video
This is the best information on the White Rodgers 3-wire zone valve (1311-102) and its operation I have found. Thank you! I also hope you might do a similar video installing a Nest or Ecobee thermostat using the White Rodgers 1311-102 zone valve using a SPDT relay. In addition, perhaps a video on using White Rodgers 1361-102 zone valve (2-wire) and how it would be wired to a Nest or Ecobee thermostat.

White Rodgers zone valves will mess you up. 1311 1361. These things will learn you. Good video & explanation on this zone valve. I'd rather replace them but sometimes that's not an option. Make it happen.

Thank you so much for this video I can’t thank you enough, I’m an HVAC tech and this is the first time coming across this valve and single pole double throw thermostat, Always exciting learning something new

[terrelllowry]

Alex your presentation was fantastic . you explained the function of zones better than my HVAC instructor from now on i will call you the professor

[dhurban]

Outstanding! Thank you so much for making what looks complicated to be relatively simple.

[AllanKobelansky]

You earned a subscription. Nice job! Saved me lots of work as I only had to replace the motor. No plumbing.

[MikeSperano]

Excellent video. Great job articulating the details.

[MingshiHuang-fr]

Good instruction! I have a heat system using White Rodgers 1311-102 zone valves. One of them is not responding to its thermostat now. But it can be manually open and close. So, it looks like the head of the valve needs to be replaced. Thank you for the tutorial!

[anngallagher]

Great Job! How about aux wiring with an external transformer? Plus explaining the pump relay and burner circuit would be helpful and im sure you would do a great job

[joeantoniopacheco]

This video is top notch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[boratboratbekov]

Very thorough and informative. Thank You!

[nafsekiv]

Great job! Very thorough and informative. Thanks for the help

[williamneilambrosini]

Absolute perfection. My many, many thanks to you.

[rongjini]

Great tutorial. I understood how this valves work much better from you than from my Hydronics class. I have a question. How can you wire this zone valve with a two wire thermostat. (if you don't have the green wire. Red and White only from the thermostat.) Thank you.

[c.w.]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Very informative. I'm installing a new Honeywell T4 Pro thermostat (programmable). I have the White Rodgers 1311 zone valve, 3-wire (red, green, white). Can i run a wire from the #1 terminal to the thermostat location to serve as the common wire when installing a new, digital "smart" thermostat? Is there an alternative that wouldn't require pulling a 4th wire to the thermostat location (e.g. running a jumper at the thermostat)? The thermostats on the first floor wouldn't be too hard to pull a 4th wire to because the basement ceiling is open, but pulling a 4th wire to the two thermostats on the 2nd floor could be a bit harder.
