Description

The Cast Iron Balancing Valve is a flanged static (manual) balancing valve used to set and measure the design flow rate in each branch of a hydronic system. Its precision-characterized globe-pattern disc, numbered handwheel scale and two pressure test points allow accurate presetting with a flow measuring instrument. Once set, the memory stop lets the valve be closed for maintenance and reopened to the same position.
