Key Features
Full-Port Ball Design
A ball closure gives a full-port, low-pressure-drop design when open and tight shutoff when closed, unlike a characterized globe seat.
Motorized Actuation
A synchronous motor drives the ball open and closed on a thermostat signal, with an auxiliary end switch available for pump or boiler interlock.
Auxiliary End Switch
An auxiliary microswitch rated 6 A at 24 V confirms valve position for pump or boiler interlock.
Glycol Compatible
Rated for glycol solutions to 50 %, covering freeze-protected circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Caleffi 638064A 106 do?
It is a motorized ball zone valve. A motor drives a full-port ball open and closed on a thermostat call, giving very low pressure drop when open and tight shutoff when closed.
How is Caleffi 638064A 106 different from a thermo-electric zone valve?
A ball valve gives a full-port, low-pressure-drop path and positive shutoff, and suits larger zones. A thermo-electric valve is smaller and silent but has a characterized seat with higher pressure drop.
What connection does Caleffi 638064A 106 use?
It is supplied with 1" Press connections. Other sizes and connection styles in the range are listed under Related Products.
