There are three methods for selecting SmartX PIBCV valves
and Actuators:
1: Complete Method: Valve Assembly Selection
2. Custom Method: Valve Body and Actuator Field Assembly
3. Valve Only Method: Automatic Flow Limited Balance
1: Complete Method: Valve Assembly
Selection
To select a PIBCV valve assembly select the required flow
rate and actuator type. For example, to select a PIBCV valve
assembly with a flow rate of 1.5 GPM and a non-spring return
proportional actuator refer to Table 1. Valve Assemblies
½…1¼” With Female NPT End Connectors, Without PT Ports
on page 6.
Select the 1.5 GPM flow rate with the left column of the table.
Select the actuator from the top row of the table.
The intersecting valve assembly part number from the left
column and top row selections shows VP228E-15SN-L15-S101
which includes the set 1.5 GPM flow rate, installed actuator,
female NPT end connectors, and metal tag with flow rate.
Specifications for the selected valve body actuators are
in Table 3. Specification ½…1¼” Valve Body Actuators on
page 7 and for the valve body in Table 12. Specification
Threaded Version, ½…2" on page 11.
2. Custom Method: Valve Body and
Actuator Field Assembly
Select the individual parts then set the flow rate and field
assemble a valve assembly.
Table 12. Specification Threaded Version, ½…2" on page 11
shows the valve body specifications and Table 23. ½…2” Valve

15BQSNT valve body that does not include PT ports, or select
the VP-228E-15BSQ valve body if PT Ports are required.
Other larger valves could also provide the 1 to 2 GPM flow
rates, but the VP-228E-15BQSNT was selected because it will
be using a higher percentage of its flow range (in general, best
accuracy is achieved when a higher percentage of flow rate is
used).
The ½” to 2” PIBCV valves use convenient valve body tail
pieces for connection to the piping system.

From Table 17. Selection: ½"…2" Valve Body Tail Pieces on
page 14, select the desired ½” tail piece – part number
9112108015 for Female NPT, 9112110015 for Male NPT, or
9112109015 for Sweat. Each tail piece part number includes
two tail pieces.
Table 3. Specification ½…1¼” Valve Body Actuators on page
7 shows the compatible actuators.
Select the MP131-24T for two position control, the MP131-24F
for floating control, the MP-131-24MP for proportional control,
the MP300-SRU for spring return open universal control, or the
MP300-SRD for spring return close universal control. Universal
control actuators provide both proportional and floating input
functionality. The valve body flow can easily be set before the
actuator is installed as shown in the PIBCV Flow Setting on
page 5.
3. Valve Body Only: Automatic Flow
Limited Balance Example
PIBCV valves can be used without actuators to limit the circuit
flow to an adjustable flow rate.
Table 12. Specification Threaded Version, ½…2" on page
11 shows the valve body specifications and Table 23. ½…2”
Valve Flow Ranges (Q
2½”…10” Flanged Valve Flow Ranges (Q
19 show the valve body flow rate ranges.
For example, to select a valve body that can be used in the
flow rate range of 2 to 5 GPM from Table 23 select the VP229E15BQHNT valve body part number. The ½” to 2” PIBCV valves
use convenient valve body tail pieces for connection to the
piping system.
From Table 17. Selection: ½"…2" Valve Body Tail Pieces on
page 14, select the desired ½” tail piece: part number
9112108015 for Female NPT, 9112110015 for Male NPT, or
9112109015 for Sweat. Each tail piece part number includes
two tail pieces.
The 1½" and larger sized valves require a stem lock when
used without an actuator as shown in Table 11. Application:
Operation of PIBCV Valve Body Without Actuator on page 10
(which also shows application information for the valve bodies
without actuators). The valve body flow can easily be set as
shown in the PIBCV Flow Setting Section.
