Gas training how a diverter valve works Combi boiler

If you’re a plumber or a DIY enthusiast, understanding how a diverter valve in a combi boiler works can save you a lot of headaches down the line. It’s one of those components that can be easy to overlook until something goes wrong. Simply put, the diverter valve is responsible for directing hot water either to your taps or to your radiator system. When you turn on the hot water tap, the valve opens to provide instant hot water, and when you switch the heating on, it redirects flow to the radiators. If the valve is stuck or malfunctioning, you might end up with lukewarm showers or chilly living rooms, which is not what anyone wants. Regular checks can help identify any issues before they escalate, so keep an eye out for any unusual noises or inconsistent water temperature. In the video linked above, you can see the diverter valve in action. It’s a great visual reference! Whether you’re servicing a combi boiler for a client or tackling a DIY project at home, this knowledge will definitely come in handy.
