Key Features
Pressure Independent Flow Control
Holds the designed flow rate regardless of differential pressure swings elsewhere in the system, so zones stay balanced as other valves open and close.
Holds the Selected Design Flow
Once the valve is set to its design flow, that flow is maintained as differential pressure changes elsewhere in the system. Initial setup is still required at commissioning.
Adjustable 0.53 to 5.3 GPM
Flow is adjustable across 0.53 to 5.3 GPM, set manually or by an actuator. The suffix identifies the range, not a single fixed setting.
Glycol Compatible
Rated for glycol solutions to 50 %, covering freeze-protected circuits.
