Where are end switches located?
An ‘End Switch’ is an electric switch mounted on the motor linkage that will stop the motor movement when it reaches that 80-degree limit by opening the electrical circuit to the motor.
What is end switch?
An end switch is usually a ” dry contact switch” meaning no voltage from the control is applied. It is just a switch and you can control 24 volt or 120 volt or a DC volt circuit. So an end switch makes when something else happens first, like the zone valve opens or a relay closes.
How do end switches work?
End switches are typically wired to a fan and/or to a light serving as an open/not open indicator. When the damper is powered open, one of the damper blades makes contact with the spring rod of the end switch which in turn makes a connection allowing power to flow to the fan and/or light.
What are the switches on my boiler?
The boiler flow switch is a boiler safety feature or device that prevents the burner from firing in times when the flow of water is interrupted. If your boiler flow switch has problems, it’s imperative to consult with a boiler professional for a solution.

What is a zone valve on a boiler?
A zone valve is a specific type of valve used to control the flow of water or steam in a hydronic heating or cooling system. In the interest of improving efficiency and occupant comfort, such systems are commonly divided up into multiple zones.
What are the teminals on a zone valve?
The zone valve has 2 teminals marked end switch. These 2 wires, and only the 2 marked “end switch” can be taken loose from terminals and tied together to see if the problem is in the motor. After tied together, make sure zone valve is calling for heat.
Why is the end switch on my zone valve not working?
If so then your end switch may be bad, or the motor may not be allowing full opening. In that case replace the zone valve head. When you jump out the end switch see if both sides of the zone valve get hot if so then it is probably opening and the end switch is bad.
When to replace a Honeywell zone control valve?
Provided the wiring and thermostat are correct and operating, if no hot water flows past the valve on a call for heat (feel the pipes for heat) it may be jammed and need replacement Our photo (left) shows the manual control valve in its “automatic” or normal position on a Honeywell™ heating zone control valve.
What happens when a hot water zone valve is opened?
On a call for heat, the valve is opened. When it reaches the fully open position, the end switch “makes” (makes contact), causing the aquastat relay to pull in, starting the circulator and the burner. If the circulator control and high limit switches are closed, the circulator and burner come on.
