The kvs values in bypass B of the 3-port valves represent only 70 % of the k vs value in the straight-
through control path AB ♠ A (exception: VXI46.25T). This compensates for the flow resistance of
%
the heat exchanger or radiator, so keeping the overall flow rate V 100 as constant as possible.

kvs = Nominal flow rate of cold water (5…30 °C) through the fully open valve (H 100), by a differential
pressure of 100 kPa (1 bar)

Order When ordering, please specify the quantity, product name and type code.

Example 1 3-port zone valve, type VXI46.15

The type SFA…, SUA21/1 and STA… actuators must be ordered separately.

Delivery The valves and actuators are delivered in separate packaging.

Χpmax = Maximum permissible differential pressure across the valve's control path, valid for the entire
actuating range of the motorized valve (maximum recommended operating differential
pressure)

For noiseless operation, the value of 100 kPa should not be exceeded.

Χps = Maximum permissible differential pressure at which the motorized valve will close securely
against the pressure (close off pressure)

Commissioning notes

Manual adjustment In the straight-through control path A ⇓ AB, respectively AB ⇓ A the valve is opened
by a return spring.
The straight-through path can be closed manually with the manual adjustment button.
With 3-port valves, this method can be used to open bypass B to 70 % (exception:
VXI46.25T).

Maintenance

V…I46… valves require no maintenance.

Caution When doing service work on the valve / actuator:
∂ Deactivate the pump and turn off the power supply
∂ Close the shuttoff valves
∂ Fully reduce the pressure in the piping system and allow pipes to completely cool
down
If necessary, disconnect the electrical wires.

Before putting the valve into operation again, make certain the manual knob or the
actuator is correctly fitted.

Stem sealing gland The stem sealing gland cannot be exchanged. In the case of leakage, the entire valve
must be replaced. Contact your local office or branch.

Disposal Do not dispose of the device as household waste.
Warning
Due to the tensioned spring return, valve disassembly may result in flying parts causing
possible injury.
Only authorized staff may disassemble valves with tensioned spring return!
Disposal
∂ Special handling of individual components may be mandated by law or make
ecological sense.
