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 5 A at 24 V confirms valve position for pump or boiler interlock.
