2-Way Control Valves

2-way valves are straightforward components that can help you save energy and money. These valves have an inlet and an outlet port, and are found in basic on/off applications as well as variable flow systems that experience changes in temperature, flows, and pressures. These valves can lower total operating costs by reducing absorbed pumping power and by running heating and cooling systems under variable speeds.

For some chilled or hot water applications, the 2-way valve is the ideal solution; with peak effectiveness occurring when the valve operates at 30% – 80% open. Operating the valve in this range will extend the life of the valve and help prevent damage to the valve.
