I bought a MYSON 228 spring return actuator valve. There are 5 wires from the valve, Brown and blue go to the thermostat, but 3 remaining wires, Grey, White (both switch lives ) and an orange ( common) is whats confusing me. I have switch for the heat on the wall, which switches 3 ways, Timed, Off and Constant. How do I wire those 3 remaining wires to that switch for the heat ?

Just to fill some confusion, the idea of the valve through the tstat, is because at the moment, when the heat is turned on , its heating the water too. I want the valve to run through the tstat, so when the water reaches a desired temp, the valve will cut in , and just redirect all the water to the radiators.

Difficult to know how your system is wired but blue is neutral Brown is normally connected to the stat and when live, opens the valve, which then closes the switch across common (orange) and N/O (grey). So orange has a permanent feed, and grey goes to the pump and boiler. The switch wires do not necessarily connect to the programmer. Depends on whether you have another valve for hot water, is this for heating only? Why did you decide to get a motorised valve? It could be wired (Miswired) in unlimited configurations, because many electricians don't have a clue about heating controls. I usually pull everything apart and start again when I find a mess!

If your tstat is wired live and neutral, and is 230volt, brown goes to live, blue goes to neutral, this powers the valve and the auxiliary switch.
Disconnect power and neutral going to the 3 way control switch.
Bring the orange wire to neutral into the 3 way.
Bring grey to the live input to the 3 way.
The white wire must be made safe because when the tstat isn't calling for heat this wire will be live.
Operation should be as follows,
tstat calls for heat
valve opens
n/o auxiliary switch closes and powers 3 way controller which, turns on boiler provided 3 way controller is asking for boiler to fire.
However, if you only have one valve to wire in I don't understand why you would want to, it's not really serving any purpose. Good Luck

if you have no knowledge of domestic gas central heating systems then you should seek expert advise.some hot water circuits include the open vent pipe which needs to run unobstructed from the boiler to the feed and expansion tank in the loft space.if this pipe is closed off and the boiler overheats,you could have the potential for a small disaster.

Think you are a worry because as some-one else has said blue is neutral. Motor will not work unless live and neutral are connected properly. Think you need a part P electrician if you are not changing like for like anyway.

Sure you can. You shouldn't - but you can. Your two wires have one side that is "Neutral." The other is "hot" and carries the current. figure out which is neutral and make certain that you use the correct wire from the plug connects with the neutral. You might also consider simply attaching the ground wire directly to the chassis or frame of the mower. The best idea, however, is to contact the manufacturer or a repair depot where they work on that style of mower and get the correct cable to do the job.

because you have no idea where the wires go leave it to a expert because sometimes you have to cut off and make safe the white wire
