What it is

The VC valve control box kit is a Worcester Bosch control component used on the Heatslave range of oil-fired combination boilers. It houses the electrical control gear that governs valve operation within the appliance, linking the boiler's control circuit to the water-heating side of the unit. The kit is supplied under Worcester Bosch part number 87161052040.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler fails to respond to a call for heat or hot water
  • The burner does not fire despite the appliance being powered and calling
  • Intermittent lockouts or unexplained shutdowns during a demand cycle
  • Valve operation is erratic, delayed or absent when the appliance is running
  • Visible heat damage, corrosion or loose connections at the control box terminals

Before you order

  • Confirm the appliance model and variant (OSO or RSO) against the compatibility list before ordering
  • Check the existing control box part number and any alternative numbers marked on the old component
  • Isolate the electrical supply to the appliance before removing or fitting the control box
