We understand the importance of having the right valves for your HVAC systems. Valves are essential components that regulate the flow of fluids, such as water, refrigerant, and air, throughout your system. They play a crucial role in maintaining optimal performance, efficiency, and safety.
With our extensive experience and expertise in the HVAC industry, we offer a wide range of valves to meet the specific needs of your systems. Whether you're dealing with hydronic systems, refrigeration systems, or air handling systems, we have the right valves to keep your operations running smoothly.
Ten types of valves for your HVAC systems
Ball valves: These are known for their simple design and quick quarter-turn operation. They are ideal for on/off control and are commonly used in a variety of HVAC applications, including water lines, refrigerant lines,and air ducts.
Butterfly valves: These valves feature a disc-shaped closure that provides a streamlined flow path, minimizing pressure drop. They are often used in larger-diameter applications, such as main water lines and air handling units.
Gate valves: These type offer a full-port opening, allowing for unrestricted flow. They are suitable for on/off control and are commonly used in hydronic systems, such as boilers and chillers.
Globe valves: These ones provide throttling control, enabling precise regulation of flow rate. They are often used in applications where fine adjustment is required, such as pressure control valves and bypass lines.
Check valves: These valves allow flow in one direction only, preventing backflow. They are essential for protecting pumps, boilers, and other equipment from damage.
Pressure relief valves: These valves automatically open to release excess pressure, safeguarding your system from potential hazards. They are commonly used in boilers, pressure tanks, and other pressurized components.
Solenoid valves: These valves are electrically actuated, allowing remote control of flow. They are widely used in automated HVAC systems, particularly in applications involving zoning and temperature control.
Thermostatic expansion valves (TXVs): These valves regulate the flow of refrigerant in refrigeration systems,ensuring proper superheat and evaporator performance. They are crucial for maintaining efficient cooling operation.
3-Way mixing valves: These valves combine and control the flow of two separate fluids, enabling precise temperature mixing. They are commonly used in hydronic systems for zone heating and domestic hot water applications.
Pressure Independent Control Valves (PICVs): These valves maintain a constant flow rate regardless of changes in upstream pressure, ensuring consistent flow distribution in hydronic systems. They are particularly useful in zoned systems and variable flow applications.
