The Belimo Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S is a 1 in. press fit, 3-way diverting ZoneTight (QCV) zone valve assembled with an electronic fail-safe CQKX24-S actuator for on/off control. The forged brass valve has a Cv of 4.4, 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 (2.5 W in operation, 5 VA transformer sizing), and it has one built-in SPST auxiliary switch rated 1 A resistive @ DC 30 V.
Specifications verified 2026-10-09 against Belimo Z3100QPF-J technical data sheet (rev. 2024-12-17) and Belimo Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S assembly data sheet (actuator rev. 2024-03-12).
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 4.4, linear flow characteristic and 0% leakage. Flow is possible in both directions.
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.
Electronic Fail-Safe
Electronic fail-safe on/off actuator. Fail-safe running time is <60 s, with 5...20 s pre-charging time.
Built-In Auxiliary Switch
One SPST auxiliary switch rated 1 A resistive @ DC 30 V for end position indication, interlock control or fan startup.
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.

FAQ
What is the Cv of the Belimo Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S?
The Z3100QPF-J valve has a Cv of 4.4 with a linear flow characteristic and 0% leakage.
Is the Belimo Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S a mixing or diverting valve?
It is a 3-way diverting (change-over) ZoneTight ball valve. Flow is possible in both directions.
Can the maximum Cv of the Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S be field adjusted?
No. On this 3-way change-over valve the end stop clip on the actuator has to be removed to get the 90° angle of rotation needed for change-over.
What is the close-off pressure of the Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S?
Close-off pressure and maximum differential pressure are both 40 psi. The body pressure rating is 250 psi.
What control signal and power does the CQKX24-S actuator need?
The change-over valve is controlled by an on/off signal. The CQKX24-S runs on AC/DC 24 V, with 5 VA transformer sizing.
Does the Z3100QPF-J+CQKX24-S have an auxiliary switch?
