About Motor-Operated Zone Valves
| MAIN CHARACTERISTICS : These valves are powered by an electric motor and be in two different operating depending on whether the motor is charged (fig.2) or not (fig.1) . An auxiliary switch can be installed on request and activated when the valve is switched .Valves are equipped with an external lever for manual positioning of the shut-off ball in a central position (fig. 4).They also have a built -in by-pass to balance the hydraulic circuit when the valve is closed. |
| OPERTING: Fig. 3A shows the valve deactivated and flow form outlet C returns, through the by - pass into path B which is the return heating system. The by-pass passage diameter is small In addition, causes load loss p that can be measured using chart. The lode loss that is generated is for compensation and is equivalent to the header and the radiators. Fig. 3B shows the valve when it is activated. Outlet C-D is open and the fluid returns path A-B, which is the return form the heating system. Note: Do not install the valve upside down, with the cover facing down as it is a possible receptacle of water or condensation |
| USING THE MANUAL LEVER: A lever is placed on the side of the servomotor that permits manual position of the shut off ball in an intermediate position (fig.40). This is useful when emptying and refilling the pipeline system. The manual lever is automatically reset whenever the valve is activated by electricity. |
| AUXILIARY SWITCHES: All versions can be equipped with a single-pole micro switch (M1 version with C-NO connection )or a two -pole micro switch (M1S version ). There is a special kit for installing single-pole auxiliary switch even in versions that do not come factory - equipped with this switch (M1 Kit) The M1S kit cannot be installed in versions, which do not mount them originally. |

Reliable Zone Control for Diverse ApplicationsEngineered to offer precise zone management in HVAC, water heating, and hot water control systems, this motor-operated valve combines reliability and efficiency. Its versatile mounting options and manual override lever provide operational flexibility across commercial, industrial, and residential installations.
Rugged Construction and Energy EfficiencyCrafted with a brass valve body and equipped with a steel actuator, the valve is built to last under demanding conditions. The synchronous motor ensures smooth operation while maintaining low energy consumption (<6W), making it an eco-friendly choice for long-term use.
Simple Integration and MaintenanceDesigned for easy inline pipe mounting and featuring standard wiring options, the valve can be seamlessly incorporated into new or existing piping networks. The clear flow direction marking and accessible manual lever streamline both installation and servicing.
FAQs of Motor-Operated Zone Valves:
Q: How do I install the motor-operated zone valve, and what is the recommended position?
A: The valve can be mounted inline with horizontal or vertical piping, providing flexibility based on your system layout. Ensure that the flow direction matches the arrow indicated on the valve body during installation for optimal performance.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this zone valve in HVAC and water heating systems?
A: This valve delivers precise zone control, improving system efficiency and reducing energy costs. Its robust construction promises longevity, while features like manual operation and threaded connections simplify both usage and maintenance.
Q: When should I use the manual override lever, and how does it function?
A: The manual lever should be used during maintenance, testing, or in the event of a power failure. Engaging the lever allows flow through the valve without actuator involvement, ensuring system continuity when automation is unavailable.
Q: Where can this valve be utilized, considering its design and technical specifications?
A: Suitable for commercial, industrial, and residential applications across India, the valve is ideal for use in HVAC systems, hot water circulation, zone isolation, and water or glycol-based heating setups that require reliable control.
Q: What is the wiring process for connecting the actuator, and which control systems are compatible?
A: The actuator supports standard 2 or 3 wire connections, available in models with 2/3 pin configurations. The valve integrates seamlessly with thermostats or PLCs, making it versatile for automated or manual control schemes.
Q: How does the valve handle different media and what pressures is it rated for?
A: Designed for water and glycol mixtures, the valve can operate efficiently under pressures up to 16 Bar and within a temperature range from 5C to 100C, ensuring consistent performance in various environments.
Q: What port and connection sizes are available for this valve, and how do I select the right one?
A: The valve comes in DN15 (1/2), DN20 (3/4), and DN25 (1) sizes with threaded (BSP/NPT) connections. Choose the appropriate size based on your pipe dimensions and system flow requirements for optimal compatibility.
