Series ZV2 Two-Way Detachable Zone Valves
Bulletin V-25
®
ZV2 Series Zone Valves are ideal for flow control in hot and cold 
water HVAC systems. Zone valves are typically used in conjunction with 
a thermostat to control room temperature. The ZV2 is electrically driven 
to open and or close via a bidirectional motor. Units are available in 1/2˝, 
3/4˝, 1˝, and 1-1/4˝ sizes with 24 or 120 VAC power supply. Easy to 
install, these units are direct replacements for competitor units. Manual 
override lever is easily accessible externally. Consult factory for 220 VAC 
power supply, optional auxiliary switches, and BSP or sweat 
connections.    
ZV2 models come in floating or modulating input types. Floating units 
are controlled directly from the thermostat and modulation units accept 
either a 4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 VDC input. Modulating models include a 
motor time out feature that automatically turns off the motor after the full 
stroke of the valve to increase motor life. Featured in the ZV2 is a 
detachable actuator that is easily removable by a turn key allowing the 
valve body to be installed without the actuator. Actuator housing is 
constructed of fire resistant plastic. 
Features:
• Manual override lever
• Removable actuator
• Motor time out for controllers that do not automatically turn off their 
signal after the full stroke of the valve

Instructions for Operation and Use
1. Assembly and disassembly of the actuator and valve body fit the
square axis of the valve body with the square hole in the actuator and 
insert (make sure that another axis will not touch the actuator). Rotate 
the actuator or valve body, make another axis of the valve body aim at 
the corresponding hole in the actuator. Use a little force to press the 
actuator. Turn the locking key clockwise to lock the actuator into place. 
The assembly of the actuator and valve body is finished. When 
disassembling, turn the locking key counterclockwise, and use a little 
force to pull out the actuator in the opposite direction used during 
assembly.
2. 2-way valves are installed as Figure 2 and 3 shows. For high building,
pressure–reducing valve should be installed on branch pipe at ground 
floor.    
3. Note: When the valve is mounted on a horizontal pipe, the angle must
be positioned less than 85° (see Figure 4). When the valve is mounted 
on a vertical pipe, prevent from dripping. 
4. Manual operating lever: The valve is unlocked when you press the
manual operating button. Moving the manual lever can make the valve 
return. When releasing the button, the valve will be locked again 
automatically.
5. When installing a 2-way valve, the flow direction is from end “B” to “A”.
For a normal-open valve, it is from end “A” to “B”. In both situations, the 
valve closing direction is opposite.

MAINTENANCE
Upon final installation of the Series ZV2 Two-Way Detachable Zone 
Valves, no routine maintenance is required. A periodic check of the 
system calibration is recommended. The Series ZV2 is not field 
serviceable and should be returned if repair is needed (field repair 
should not be attempted and may void warranty). Be sure to include a 
brief description of the problem plus any relevant application notes. 
Contact customer service to receive a return good authorization number 
before shipping.
