    Heat pumps: where to terminate motorised valves

    Hi, I’m just wondering has anyone on here any experience with a Mitsubishi Ecodan R32 model. I’ve completed all the wiring expect for terminating two motorised valves. I cannot find a manual stating what terminals they go into. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
