Three-way Cartridge Cage Valves are intended for hydronic applications in a normal indoor environment to control the flow of hot/chilled water-glycol solution up to 60% concentration. These valves are designed for zone control of heating/cooling systems.
The VC hydronic valve consists of a valve body and replaceable characterized cartridge assembly. Depending on the valve model selected, they can be used with a VC2114 or VC8114 series actuator to provide on-off flow control, or with a VC6930 or VC7930 series, an actuator to provide proportional flow control. Two-way bodies may be plumbed in either direction. Three-way bodies may be used in either diverting or mixing applications.
