Disable HVAC zoning?

[jeffg]

I want to disconnect the two zoning stages in my house while we do some remodeling. The zone two thermostat will basically be exposed to outside air for a few days and I dont want its input.

I have a honeywell hz311 zone controller and forced air gas heat.

Can I disconnect the tstat 2 wiring from the controller and move the zone 2 damper wires to the zone 1 damper connection on the controller? I assume this would use the tstat1 to control both dampers at the same time.

Yes but make sure not to exceed th vA rating of the z1 damper terminals.

If it has the normal honeywell spring open power close dampers simply turn off the zone 2 stat and unhook the zone 2 damper wires, that will keep the zone 2 stat from being able to call for heat and the damper will stay open do it will get air anytime zone 1 is running.

I would do what brewchief said. That or run a temporary wire and relocate the stat.
