Viega LLC’s new Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve ensures a balanced domestic water recirculation system by dynamically changing with varying conditions.
The Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve will be on display at Viega’s booth (N1715) at the International Builders’ Show (IBS), Feb. 19-21, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Automatic Recirculation Balancing Valve
The results are faster hot water delivery, minimized wasted energy and water and low chance of contaminationThe valve, which will be available in North American markets in May, is a modification of a Viega product that has been used successfully in Europe for years. It helps keep water temperatures more uniform by adjusting flow with changes in temperature. The results are faster hot water delivery, minimized wasted energy and water and less stagnation and chance of contamination. Among the valve’s features:
- Unlike with manual valves, temperature can be set once and be maintained automatically. Settings can be changed easily, if needed.
- Can be installed on risers or branches
- Remote monitoring with temperature sensor
- Optional thermometer provides visual indication of valve setting
- Threaded ends allow it to be used with Viega ProPress or Viega PureFlow fittings systems
- Can be easily tied into automated building systems with an actuator
- Includes bypass for thermal disinfection
Additional accessories that can be used with the valve include an actuator, thermometer, drain valve and optional insulation sleeve.
