What it is

The S5261700 is a by-pass component manufactured by Glow-worm for use in its gas boiler range. It sits in the appliance's water circuit and regulates flow through the primary side of the boiler. It is listed for a broad spread of Glow-worm boiler families, from Compact and GW through to Micracom, Xtrafast and Xtramax.
