Best For
- Closed chilled and hot water systems, up to 60% glycol
- Switching functions and 2-point controls on the water side of air-handling units and heating systems
- Change-over duty where a 1/2" sweat valve with a Cv of 1 fits the design
- Zones that must go to a defined position on loss of power: fail position 0% Close
- AC/DC 24 V control circuits
Warranty
Belimo backs ZoneTight zone valves with a 5-year warranty.
If the temperature exceeds the 212°F operating range because of a boiler control failure, the valve safely contains the hot water, but the manufacturer's product warranty becomes invalid.

FAQ
What is the Cv of the Belimo Z3050QS-E+CQKB24-RR?
The Z3050QS-E valve has a Cv of 1, a 1/2" [DN 15] sweat connection and a linear flow characteristic.
Is the Z3050QS-E a mixing or diverting valve?
It is a 3-way diverting (change-over) zone valve. Flow is possible in both directions.
Does the actuator end stop clip need to be removed?
Yes. The end stop clip at the actuator has to be removed to get the 90° angle of rotation needed for change-over functionality.
What are the pressure and temperature limits?
Body pressure rating 360 psi, close-off pressure 40 psi, maximum differential pressure 40 psi, and fluid temperature 36...212°F [2...100°C] for chilled or hot water up to 60% glycol.
How must the valve be oriented?
Install it upright to horizontal. Do not install it hanging with the stem pointing downwards.
What power supply does the CQKB24-RR actuator need?
Nominal voltage AC/DC 24 V, 50/60 Hz (range AC 19.2...28.8 V / DC 21.6...28.8 V). Transformer sizing is 5 VA.
What position does the Z3050QS-E+CQKB24-RR go to on power loss?
The CQKB24-RR is an electrical fail-safe actuator with a fail position of 0% Close. Fail-safe running time is <60 s.
