Which solution to use?

So you’re convinced of the importance of balancing your hydronic system, you’ve figured if you need on/off or modulating control and you have been introduced to our range of terminal valves.

The last step is finding the right control and balancing valves for your terminal units. The charts below make that choice a simple one.

For on/off control
STAD + TBV-C  Normal solution for most system using on/off control
STAP + TBV-C  Simplifies the balancing procedure and minimises the risk of noise


For modulating control with pressure independent modules
STAP + TBV-CM  Normal solution for most systems using modulating control
STAD + TBV-CM  When acceptable valve authority can be obtained  without dp control


For modulating control with pressure independent control valves
          
TBV-CMP  A more costly solution that ensures favourable circuit characteristic and simplifies commissioning.
