The Belimo Z2050Q-F+CQKB24-LL is a 2-way, 1/2″ NPT ZoneTight ball zone valve (Cv 1.4, 75 psi close-off, 0% leakage) factory-assembled with the CQKB24-LL, an electronic fail-safe actuator that drives the valve to 100% open on loss of power. The actuator runs on AC/DC 24 V and accepts an on/off control signal.
Specifications on this page are taken from the Belimo Z2050Q-F+CQKB24-LL assembly technical data sheet (valve section revision 2024-06-12, CQKB24-LL actuator section revision 2024-03-12), the CQK quick-mount instruction manual 71775-00001.L and the Belimo ZoneTight brochure (PF_37, 05/25). Verified 2026-09-09.
Unit ventilators, fan coil units, VAV reheat coils, fin tube casing, radiant panels and duct coils in large commercial buildings (Belimo's listed QCV applications), with two-position zone control from any controller supplying an on/off signal where the coil must fail open on power loss. Belimo lists the QCV for installations where higher close-off and the ability to change flow are desired, in space-restricted areas.
Key Features
Zero Leakage Shutoff
Belimo publishes a 0% leakage rate and a 75 psi close-off pressure for the Z2050Q-F, with a 360 psi body rating.
Field-Adjustable Maximum Flow
An end-stop clip on the actuator changes the angle of rotation in 2.5° increments to set the maximum flow, from Cv 0.1 up to the full Cv 1.4, without tools.
Tool-Free Snap Assembly
The actuator plugs onto the valve by hand in vertical movements only; pins must match the holes on the flange. Mounting orientation can be selected in 180° increments.
Electronic Fail-Safe
On loss of power the actuator drives the valve to 100% open in under 60 s (published fail-safe running time), with a 2 s bridging time and 5...20 s pre-charging time.
Plenum Rated, cULus Listed
UL 2043 compliant for use in air plenums per NEC 300.22(C) and IMC 602; cULus listed to UL60730-1A/-2-14 and CAN/CSA E60730-1:02, UL Enclosure Type 2 / NEMA 2 / IP40.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Belimo Z2050Q-F+CQKB24-LL?
It is Belimo's Z2050Q-F 2-way 1/2″ NPT ZoneTight zone valve (Cv 1.4) supplied as a factory assembly with the CQKB24-LL electronic fail-safe actuator, which accepts an on/off control signal and runs on AC/DC 24 V.
What happens on loss of power?
The CQKB24-LL is electronic fail-safe: Belimo publishes a fail-safe running time of under 60 s to 100% open, with a 2 s bridging time and a 5...20 s pre-charging time after power-up.
What transformer or supply does the CQKB24-LL need?
Belimo lists a nominal voltage of AC/DC 24 V (range AC 19.2...28.8 V / DC 21.6...28.8 V, 50/60 Hz), transformer sizing 5 VA, power consumption 2.5 W in operation and 0.5 W at rest. Actuators may be connected in parallel; power consumption and input impedance must be observed.
Can the maximum flow of the Z2050Q-F be adjusted in the field?
Yes. The actuator end-stop clip changes the angle of rotation in 2.5° increments; published Z2050Q(S)-F positions are position 1 = Cv 0.1; position 3- = Cv 0.2; position 4+ = Cv 0.4; position 5+ = Cv 0.6; position 6 = Cv 0.8; position N = Cv 1.2; position No end stop = Cv 1.4 (V'nom). On modulating actuators an adaptation must be triggered after any clip change.
Is the CQKB24-LL rated for plenum installation?
Yes. Belimo lists it as UL 2043 compliant and suitable for use in air plenums per NEC Section 300.22(C) and IMC Section 602, with UL Enclosure Type 2 / NEMA 2 / IP40 protection.
What is the warranty on the Z2050Q-F+CQKB24-LL?
Belimo warrants ZoneTight components for 5 years from the date of production. Belimo notes the warranty is invalidated if the fluid exceeds 212°F due to a boiler control failure.
