QuickSetter+™ Low-lead
balancing valve with flow meter
132 series
ACCREDITED
ISO 9001 FM 21654
Function
The QuickSetter+™ manual balancing valve contains a built-in flow
meter and sight gauge, negating the need for differential pressure
gauges and reference charts. Circuit balancing is fast, easy and
accurate. Constructed of DZR low-lead brass, QuickSetter+™ is
ideally suited for use in plumbing applications such as hot water
recirculation systems. The built-in check valve protects against circuit
thermo-siphoning. The outlet temperature gauge (optional) verifies the
fluid temperature in the circuit. The flow meter sight gauge is dry (not
exposed to the fluid) thus eliminating the possibility of gauge clouding/
scaling over time. The QuickSetter+™ can also be used in heating
systems.

Operating principle
The balancing valve is a hydraulic device that
controls flow rate. The control mechanism is a
ball valve (1), operated by a control stem (2).
The flow rate is manually and properly set by
use of the convenient onboard flow meter (3)
housed in a bypass circuit on the valve body.
This circuit is automatically shut off during
normal operation. The flow rate is indicated
by a metal ball (4) sliding inside a transparent
channel (5) with an integral graduated scale (6).
The QuickSetter+ also includes a inlet check
valve (7) to prevent reverse flow.

Construction details
Flow meter
When activated by pulling the
operating ring (2), the flow rate
is indicated on the flow meter
housed in a bypass circuit on the
valve body. When finished reading
the flow rate, the flow meter is
automatically shut off, isolating
it during normal operation.
Use of a flow meter greatly
simplifies the process of system
balancing since the flow rate can
be measured and controlled at any
time without differential pressure
gauges or reference charts. The
onboard flow meter eliminates the
need to calculate valve settings
during system setup. Additionally,
the unique onboard flow meter
offers unprecedented time and cost
savings by eliminating the long and
difficult procedure of calculating
pre-settings associated with using
traditional balancing devices.

Flow meter bypass valve
The bypass valve (1) opens and closes the circuit between the flow
meter and the valve. The bypass valve is easily opened by pulling the
operating ring (2), and is automatically closed by the internal return
spring (3) when finished reading the flow rate. The spring and the
EPDM seal (4) provide a reliable seal to isolate the flow meter during
normal operation.
The operating ring (2) material has low thermal conductivity to avoid
burns if the flow meter is opened while hot fluid is passing through the
valve.

Ball/magnet indicator
The metal ball (4) that indicates the flow rate is not
in direct contact with the fluid passing through the
flow meter.
This is an effective and innovative measuring system
in which the ball slides up and down inside a
transparent channel (5) that is isolated from the fluid
flowing through the body of the flow meter. The ball
is moved by a magnet (6) connected to a float (7).
In this way the flow rate indication system remains
perfectly clean and provides reliable readings
over time.

The valve can be completely closed and opened. A slot on the control
stem indicates the valve position. When the control stem is turned

Installation
Install the balancing valve in a location that ensures free access to
the flow meter shutoff valve, control stem and flow rate indicator. To
ensure accurate flow measurement, straight sections of pipe installed
as shown is recommended.

The valve can be installed in any position with respect to the flow
direction shown on the valve body. Additionally, the valve can be
installed either horizontally or vertically.
Flow rate adjustment
The flow rate is adjusted as follows:
A. With the aid of the flow rate indicator (1), mark the desired flow rate.
B. Use the operating ring (2) to open the bypass valve slowly. This
allows fluid to flow through the flow meter (3). The bypass valve is
automatically closed under normal operating conditions.

C. While holding the bypass valve open, use a wrench to turn the valve
control stem (4) to adjust the flow rate slowly. The resulting flow rate
is indicated by the metal ball (5) that slides up and down
inside a
transparent channel (6) marked by a graduated scale in gpm.

Hot water recirculation
Balanced example
Unbalanced example
Balancing made fast, easy, and accurate with QuickSetter+
Hot water recirculation systems are designed to minimize wait time for hot water to arrive when a fixture is opened. Systems left unbalanced or improperly
balanced result in wasted water down the drain, a costly and environmentally unfriendly situation - not to mention the undesired annoyance placed on
building occupants. The QuickSetter+ takes the guess work and labor out of balancing. With the valve's exclusively designed venturi mechanism, the
installer simply pulls the flow indicator by-pass pin, adjusts the flow to the desired flow rate while viewing the built-in sight gauge, and releases the pin.
Easy, accurate balancing in seconds. No instruments or reference graphs are needed.
