    No, this is a valve that balances the flow rate between the heating circuit and hot water circuit.
    Although the zones are now split, at times they will be on at the same time, therefore the system needs to be balanced as per usual.

    The valve that regulates the speed of water going into the coil

    It's called a balancing valve.
