The Belimo Z3050Q-E+CQB24-3 is a ZoneTight QCV 3-way diverting zone valve assembly: a 1/2" NPT female forged brass ball valve with Cv 1 and linear flow, paired with the CQB24-3 non fail-safe actuator for On/Off or floating point control at AC/DC 24 V.
The valve closes off against 40 psi, carries a 360 psi body pressure rating and handles chilled or hot water with up to 60% glycol from 36 to 212°F. Its compact body fits space restricted equipment, and the actuator snaps on by hand with no tools or linkage. The CQB24-3 draws 0.3 W in operation, sizes at 0.6 VA for the transformer and runs 75 s per 90° stroke.
Best For
- Change-over and diverting duty on fan coil units and unit ventilators
- VAV reheat coils, duct coils and fin tube casing
- Radiant panels in closed chilled and hot water systems
- Space restricted installations in commercial buildings
- 24 V zone controllers with On/Off or floating point outputs
Warranty
5-year Belimo warranty covering ZoneTight valve and actuator components.
If the 212°F operating range is exceeded due to a boiler control failure, the valve will safely contain the hot water but the manufacturer warranty becomes invalid.

FAQ
What is the Cv of the Belimo Z3050Q-E+CQB24-3?
The Z3050Q-E+CQB24-3 has a Cv of 1 with a linear flow characteristic in a 3-way diverting pattern.
What close-off pressure does the Z3050Q-E+CQB24-3 handle?
Close-off pressure is 40 psi, maximum differential pressure is 40 psi and the body pressure rating is 360 psi.
What control signal does the CQB24-3 accept?
On/Off or floating point. On/Off uses a single switched contact; floating point uses two switched contacts, one for each direction of rotation.
What power supply does the CQB24-3 need?
Nominal voltage is AC/DC 24 V (AC 19.2...28.8 V / DC 21.6...28.8 V), 50/60 Hz; transformer sizing is 0.6 VA.
Why remove the actuator end stop clip?
The end stop clip must be removed from the actuator to get the 90° angle of rotation the change-over function needs.
How must the valve be installed?
Upright to horizontal in relation to the stem. Do not install it hanging with the stem pointing downward. A strainer is recommended.
What fluids and temperatures is the Z3050Q-E rated for?
Chilled or hot water with up to 60% glycol, 36...212°F [2...100°C], in closed systems.
