How to check if the ref. 8738701500 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 8738701500. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the 3-way valve 8738701500 resolves.
The 3-way valve diverts water between heating and domestic hot water. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
When opening the hot water tap, it comes out mixed with water from the heating circuit, neither truly cold nor truly hot.
Cause: The valve does not close properly on one of the internal passages, and both circuits are interconnected.
Check the condition of the gaskets and the internal seat before deciding to replace the body.
- 02
There is a moisture or dripping ring just below the gas valve, in the area of the three outlets.
Cause: The O-rings in the body lose tightness due to use and the pressure of the circuit.
Tighten the nearby clamps and fittings before replacing the entire unit: sometimes the leak comes from there and not from the part itself.
- 03
The heating works well, but the hot water from the tap does not reach, or vice versa.
Cause: The internal passage of the body is partially closed and does not allow the full flow to pass through that circuit.
Check that the actuator connected to this body moves the rod freely before replacing just the body.
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
