STV / STVL

Danfoss STV series of balancing valves provide
testing and balancing of circuit flow for hydronic
heating or cooling systems.

STV valves provide a high level of balancing
accuracy using an easy to set multi-turn setting
wheel and memory lock.

Balancing Valves

Installation:

Setting Flow Coefficient
values
(Cv value = gpm@1psi ∆P):

Install the balancing valve with the arrow on the
valve’s body pointing in the direction of the flow
in the system.

To ensure an accurate reading, a straight length
of 5 times the diameter of the pipe should be
piped prior to the valve and a straight length
of at least 2 times the pipe diameter should be
piped after the valve.

If a pump is installed near the valve, a straight
length of 10 times the diameter of the pipe
should be piped prior to the valve to reduce an
inaccurate measurement due to turbulence.
