BALANCE VALVE: Variable water flow man-
ual balancing valve with screwdriver slot
adjustment screw.
Application — Often used in conjunction with
test port fittings for water flow balancing. Bal-
ance by temperature differential or coil pres-
sure drop (check specifications for service
fittings required if balancing by pressure
drop). May be used in 3-way valve bypass
line to permit equal flow balancing.

FIXED FLOW VALVE: Flexible orifice type
(non-adjustable).
Application — Used for water flow balancing.
Valve automatically adjusts the flow to within
10% of set point.
Valve orifice size
determines C
V
fac-
tor. The orifice of
these fixed flow
valves changes as
flow is regulated.
As the water pres-
sure increases,
the orifice size
decreases,
thereby automati-
cally limiting the
flow rate to the
specified gpm
(±10%).
600 220 NO
STRAINER: Y-type body with 20 mesh stain-
less steel screen.
Application — Used for removal of small par-
ticles from system water during normal sys-
tem operation. Should not be used in lieu of
main system strainers. Strainer screen may
have to be removed during initial high pres-
sure system flushing during start-up. Screen
should be removed and cleaned per normal
maintenance schedule (provisions for strainer
blow-down not provided).

BALL VALVE: Manual balance and shut-off
valve.
Application — Used for unit isolation and
water flow balancing. Without memory stop
feature water balance point must be marked
by installer (if necessary). Check specifica-
tions for service fittings required when used
for water balancing.

BALL VALVE WITH MEMORY STOP:
Manual balance and shut-off valve.
Application — Used for unit isolation and
water flow balancing. The adjustable memory
stop feature allows return to the balance point
after shut-off. Check specifications for
service fittings required when used for water
balancing.
