The Belimo Z3100QS-J+CQKB24-S-RR is a 1" sweat, 3-way diverting ZoneTight zone valve assembly: the Z3100QS-J forged brass ball valve (Cv 4.4, 0% leakage, 40 psi close-off) with the CQKB24-S-RR electrical fail-safe on/off actuator for AC/DC 24 V supply. On power loss it drives to fail position 0% Close. A built-in SPST auxiliary switch is rated 1 A resistive @ DC 30 V.
Suited to large commercial buildings where higher close-off and the ability to change flow are needed. The valve fits space-restricted areas and assembles without tools: the actuator snaps onto the valve by hand, and its mounting orientation can be turned in 180° increments.

Best For
- Switching functions and 2-point control on the water side of air-handling units and heating systems
- Change-over (3-way diverting) duty in closed chilled and hot water systems
- Unit ventilators, fan coil units, VAV reheat coils, fin tube casing, radiant panels and duct coils
- Two-position (on/off) zone control
- Zones that need the valve driven to fail position 0% Close on power loss
- End position indication, interlock control or fan startup from the auxiliary switch
Warranty
Belimo ZoneTight valves carry a 5-year warranty. If fluid 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 and valve and actuator replacement is at the expense of others.
