QuickSetter™ Balancing Valve with flow meter
18106.02
© Co pyrig ht 2011 C aleff i
132 Series
Function
The balancing valve accurately controls the flow rate of heating and cooling transfer fluid supplied to fan coils and terminal units; or where flow balancing is required in solar thermal systems. Proper hydronic system balancing ensures the system operates according to design specifications, providing satisfactory thermal comfort with low energy consumption. The flow meter is housed in a bypass circuit on the valve body and can be shut off during normal operation. The flow meter permits fast and easy circuit balancing without added differential pressure gages and charts. The balancing valve comes standard with a hot pre-formed insulation shell to optimize thermal performance for both hot and chilled water.

This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety related instructions. When used, the safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT!
YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY HAZARD.
CAUTION: All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in the
proper application, installation, and maintenance of systems in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: Over-tightening and breakage can occur with the use of Teflon
®
pipe joint compounds. Teflon®provides lubricity so that care must be exercised not to over-tighten joints. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage and /or personal injury.
WARNING: System fluids are under pressure or temperature can be hazardous. Be sure the pressure has been reduced to zero and the system temperature is below 100°F (38°C). Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Caleffi shall not be liable for damages resulting from stress corrosion, misapplication or misuse of it products.
Installation
132 series
The balancing valves, with built-in flow meter, must be installed by qualified technical personnel in accordance with the instructions given in this manual and with current regulations. Clean the pipes of any debris, rust, welding slag and any other contaminants.
5D
132 series
As in all hydraulic circuits it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness of the entire system.
Pump
For optimal operation, any air in the medium must be removed. In order to ensure measuring accuracy, the balancing valves with flow meter must be installed by keeping a straight section above them at
10D
least as long as five diameters, increased to at least ten diameters if the nearest device upstream is a pump.
The valves must be installed so that:
- the direction of the flow agrees with that of the arrow on the valve body.
- there is easy access to the flow meter valve, control stem and dial with the calibration adjustment range.
The valves can be fitted on either vertical or horizontal pipes.
Flow rate adjustment
The flow rate is adjusted by carrying out the following operations: A. With the aid of the indicator (1),
mark the reference flow rate on which the valve is to be set.
B. Use the ring (2) to slowly open the
flow meter bypass valve that shuts off the flow of medium in the flow meter (3) under normal operating conditions.
C. Keeping the flow meter bypass
valve open, apply a wrench (9 mm for 1/2" to 1 1/4" sizes; 12 mm for 1 1/2" and 2" sizes) to the balancing valve control stem (4) to slowly adjust the flow rate, which is indicated by a metal ball (5) that runs inside a transparent cylinder (6) alongside which there is a graduated scale in GPM.

D. After completing the
balancing, release the ring (2) of the flow meter bypass valve, which will automatically go back into the closed position.
E. On completing the
adjustment, the indicator (1) can be used to keep the setting in memory, in case checks need to be made over time.
F. A replacement flow meter
bypass valve stem with operating ring is available in the event it is damaged and inoperable. Order code F19346. See page 6 for replacement instructions.

Procedure for installation and insulation assembly
Procedure for replacing bypass valve stem with operating ring
1.
Remove the protective strip from the adhesive insulation shells.
2.
If the balancing valve with flow meter is used with chilled water, spread a thin layer of sealant on the edge of the insulation and wait until the solvent evaporates (10 minutes approx.) and then re-close it.
1.
Remove bypass valve assembly with an 8 mm wrench.
2.
Install replacement bypass valve assembly, code F19346, using locktight to seal the threads.

CAUTION: If the balancing valve valve is not installed, commissioned and maintained properly, according to the instructions contained in this manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the user.
CAUTION: Make sure that all the connecting pipework is water tight.
