The Belimo Z2050QS-F+CQB24-3 is a 1/2 in. sweat, 2-way ZoneTight (QCV) zone valve assembly that pairs the Z2050QS-F valve (Cv 1.4, 0% leakage) with the CQB24-3 non fail-safe actuator for on/off or floating point control at AC/DC 24 V.
The ball valve closes off against 75 psi and handles chilled or hot water with up to 60% glycol from 36 to 212°F. The body is forged brass with a chrome plated brass ball and a 360 psi body pressure rating. The CQB24-3 is a non fail-safe actuator with a 75 s running time over 90°. It can be wired for on/off or floating point (3-point) control.
Best For
- Unit ventilators
- Fan coil units
- VAV reheat coils
- Fin tube casing
- Radiant panels
- Duct coils
- Closed water systems in large commercial buildings where higher close-off and the ability to change flow is needed
- Space-restricted installations
Warranty
Belimo warrants all ZoneTight valve and actuator components for 5 years from the date of production. If the water temperature exceeds the 212°F operating range because of a boiler control failure, the valve will safely contain the hot water but the manufacturer warranty becomes invalid.
