Converting an unused green TS Wire to a C Wire for a Nest Thermostat

I have a 3 zone LP boiler system and I'm planning to replace one of the old thermostats with a 3rd gen nest.
The existing thermostats are only utilizing Red (Rh) and White (W) wires, but there is an unused green wire in the wire bundle. Based on the diagram, can I just hook up the unused green wire to the "TH" terminal on the zone controller and the other end of it to the "C" terminal on the Nest thermostat?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.

Both diagrams did show up ok.
Yes... you are correct.
I labeled your diagram to reinforce your idea.

Thanks for the reply!
Much appreciated.
Funny thing though, I'm unable to read the diagram you marked up. On my monitor it shows up blurry and pixelated like how my first attempt at an upload showed up.

Try reloading the page..... or try [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [R].
This picture problem has been happening lately.

You could also save the picture to see it

I tried saving the image and opening image in new tab, but neither worked.
The Control Shift R did though!
Thanks again
