CALEFFI 127 Series FlowCal Compact Automatic Balancing Valve

Product Information

The CALEFFI FlowCalTM Compact Automatic Balancing Valve is designed to maintain a constant fixed flow rate within varying system differential pressure ranges. It is part of the 127 series and features an exclusive, interchangeable flow cartridge made of anti-scale, low-noise polymer. The valve body is made of compact low-lead brass, making it suitable for use in cooling, heating, and domestic water systems.

Product Usage Instructions

  1. Ensure that the valve is installed in the correct orientation according to the flow direction indicated on the valve body.
  2. Before installation, thoroughly flush the system to remove any debris or dirt that may affect the valve’s performance.
  3. Select the appropriate valve size (1/2, 3/4, or 1 inch) based on your system requirements.
  4. Connect the valve to the system piping using suitable fittings and ensure a secure and leak-free connection.
  5. Once installed, adjust the valve by turning the adjustment knob to achieve the desired flow rate. The flow rate can be monitored using a flow meter or by measuring the time it takes to fill a known volume of water.
  6. If necessary, fine-tune the flow rate by making small adjustments to the adjustment knob until the desired flow rate is achieved.
  7. Regularly inspect the valve for any signs of leakage or damage and address any issues immediately.
  8. Refer to the product manual for any additional maintenance or troubleshooting instructions.
