The Belimo Z3050QPF-E+CQB24-3 is a 1/2 in. press fit, 3-way diverting ZoneTight (QCV) zone valve assembled with a non fail-safe CQB24-3 actuator (On/Off, Floating point). The forged brass valve has a Cv of 1, a linear flow characteristic, 0% leakage and a 40 psi close-off pressure, and it is rated for chilled or hot water with up to 60% glycol from 36 to 212°F. The change-over valve is adjusted by the rotary actuator, which is controlled by an on/off signal. The actuator runs on AC/DC 24 V (0.3 W in operation, 0.6 VA transformer sizing).
Specifications verified 2026-10-11 against Belimo Z3050QPF-E technical data sheet (rev. 2024-12-17) and Belimo Z3050QPF-E+CQB24-3 assembly data sheet (actuator rev. 2024-07-10).
Best For
- Closed chilled and hot water systems
- Switching functions and 2-point control on the water side of air-handling units and heating systems
- Unit ventilators, fan coil units, VAV reheat coils, fin tube casing, radiant panels and duct coils
- Space-restricted installations where the valve must be assembled without tools
Warranty
5-year Belimo manufacturer warranty, subject to Belimo's terms and conditions of sale. If the fluid temperature exceeds the 212°F operating range due to a boiler control failure, the valve will safely contain the hot water but the manufacturer warranty becomes invalid.
Key Features
3-Way Diverting Ball Valve
Change-over ball valve with a Cv of 1, linear flow characteristic and 0% leakage.
40 psi Close-Off
Close-off pressure and maximum differential pressure of 40 psi, with a 250 psi body pressure rating.
Tool-Free Snap Assembly
The actuator plugs onto the valve by hand, and the mounting orientation can be selected in 180° increments. Remove the end stop clip so the actuator rotates the full 90° needed for change-over.
Non Fail-Safe Actuator
On/Off, floating point actuator with a 75 s / 90° running time. On this change-over valve the rotary actuator is controlled by an on/off signal.
Low Power Draw
0.3 W in operation and 0.2 W in rest position, with 0.6 VA transformer sizing.
Plenum Rated
UL 2043 compliant: suitable for use in air plenums per Section 300.22(C) of the NEC and Section 602 of the IMC.
