Static Balancing Valve | 9517 Series | Threaded | Test Points
Static Balancing Valve | 9517 Series | Threaded × Threaded with Test Points | 300 PSI WOG
9517 Series Fixed Orifice Static Balancing Valves provide precise flow control and differential pressure measurement for hydronic heating and cooling systems. Designed for closed-loop HVAC circuits, this globe-style valve ensures stable flow distribution and efficient system commissioning.
Constructed from DZR brass (UNS C35330), the 9517 offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. It features an integrated Venturi insert for accurate pressure drop readings, multi-turn handwheel adjustment for fine tuning, and a memory stop for repeatable preset flow positions.
Key Features & Benefits
- Threaded × Threaded NPT Connections — Compliant with ASME B1.20.1 for leak-free installation in standard pipe systems.
- DZR Brass Construction — Dezincification-resistant body and components for superior corrosion protection and durability.
- Precision Flow Control — Multi-turn handwheel (4+ turns) with memory stop ensures repeatable and accurate flow adjustments.
- Integrated Test Points — Factory-installed pressure ports allow fast differential pressure measurement during balancing.
- BS7350 Compliant — Cv tolerance within ±3% and reliable performance for commercial HVAC applications.
