Electric shutoff valve -1/2 "FF; 230V; without current closed IVAR.EV 306 NC

Product detailed description

This electric shutoff valve is commonly used in residential and commercial water systems where remote control of flow is required. It is suitable for installation in heating, plumbing, and irrigation systems where precise control is necessary. The valve is designed for use in environments where the operating temperature ranges from 0°C to +90°C, making it suitable for both cold and hot water applications. It is typically found in systems such as central heating, domestic hot water, and pump control circuits. The valve is intended for use by professional installers and service technicians who require reliable and accurate flow control in their installations.

The operating temperature range of 0°C to +90°C allows the valve to function in both cold and hot water systems. The PN 10 pressure rating indicates that it is suitable for low-pressure applications, typically found in domestic and light commercial systems. The CW617N brass material provides good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for use with water and compatible media. These parameters are essential for correct sizing and selection to ensure the valve operates reliably within the intended system conditions.Installation and connection The valve is designed for installation using a 1/2 inch female-female (FF) connection. The installer should ensure that the system pressure meets the minimum differential pressure requirement of 0.3 bar for the valve to operate correctly. The valve should be installed in a position that allows for easy access for maintenance and inspection. It is important to verify that the electrical supply is compatible with the 230V rating and that the wiring is correctly connected to prevent damage. Common installation mistakes include incorrect orientation, failure to check the minimum pressure differential, and incorrect electrical connections. The valve should be installed in a straight section of pipe to avoid stress on the body and to ensure proper operation.Compatibility and accessories This valve is compatible with standard water systems and can be integrated with control systems that provide 230V power. It is typically used in conjunction with thermostats, timers, or other control devices to manage flow in heating and plumbing systems. No specific accessories are required for basic operation, but additional components such as pressure regulators or flow meters may be necessary depending on the system design. Related products should be selected based on the specific requirements of the installation.Technical background for designers The valve operates using an electromagnetic actuator that opens or closes the valve based on the presence of electrical current. When de-energised, the valve remains in the closed position, ensuring that flow is stopped when the system is not in use. The CW617N brass body provides good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use with water and compatible media. The PN 10 rating indicates that the valve is designed for low-pressure applications, and the operating temperature range ensures compatibility with both cold and hot water systems. The minimum pressure differential of 0.3 bar is important for ensuring that the valve can operate effectively under varying system conditions. The design of the valve allows for integration into a wide range of systems, provided that the electrical and hydraulic requirements are met.Service and operation The valve requires minimal maintenance, but regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued reliable operation. The installer should check for signs of wear or corrosion on the body and connections. The electrical connections should be inspected for signs of damage or overheating. The valve should be tested periodically to ensure that it opens and closes correctly when energised and de-energised. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but it is recommended to follow standard maintenance procedures for similar components in the system.Frequently asked questions

Can this valve be used in a hot water system?
Yes, the valve is suitable for use in hot water systems as it has an operating temperature range up to +90°C.

Is the valve normally open or normally closed?
The valve is normally closed when de-energised, meaning it stops flow when there is no electrical current.

What is the minimum pressure required for the valve to operate?
The valve requires a minimum pressure differential of 0.3 bar to function correctly.

Can this valve be used with a 24V control system?
No, the valve is rated for 230V and cannot be used with a 24V control system without additional conversion equipment.
