Replaceable control insert - without external adjustment - 15-130kPa; 612-2380l/h; white IVAR.PICC 11

Product detailed description

This replaceable control insert is specifically engineered for integration into dynamic balancing valve systems. It provides precise flow control without the need for external adjustments, making it ideal for applications where consistent performance is required. The insert is commonly used in commercial and industrial buildings where HVAC systems demand accurate hydraulic balancing. Installers working on central heating circuits, domestic hot water systems and chilled water applications will find this component essential for maintaining system efficiency and stability.

The design ensures compatibility with a range of system configurations, particularly those requiring fixed flow control settings. By eliminating the need for manual adjustments, the insert reduces the risk of tampering and maintains system integrity over time. Its compact construction allows for seamless integration into tight spaces within mechanical rooms or behind panels, supporting streamlined installation processes in both new builds and retrofit projects.

Technical parameters

Material	Brass CW602N
Operating temperature	-20 °C
Nominal pressure	PN 25
Code	590110
Brand	IVAR

The operating temperature range of -20°C to +120°C ensures suitability for both cold and hot water systems. The nominal pressure rating of PN 25 indicates its ability to handle medium-pressure environments reliably. These specifications are critical when determining compatibility with existing piping systems and selecting appropriate safety margins during design phases.

Installation and connection

Prior to installation, verify that the valve body is compatible with the control insert. The insert is designed for direct insertion into the designated chamber of the dynamic balancing valve, requiring no additional tools for assembly. Ensure that the internal sealing surfaces are clean and free from debris to prevent leakage. A common mistake during installation is misalignment of the insert, which can lead to improper sealing or restricted flow. Always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for correct positioning and torque requirements.

Compatibility and accessories

This control insert is specifically designed for use with the IVAR.PICV 100 and 105 series dynamic balancing valves. When ordering, ensure that the valve body matches the insert’s dimensions and threading. No additional accessories are required for standard installation, though system-specific components such as pressure gauges or flow meters may be necessary depending on the application.

Technical background for designers

The control insert operates by restricting flow through a fixed orifice, allowing for precise hydraulic balancing within the system. Constructed from CW602N brass and plastic components, the insert offers corrosion resistance and durability in a wide range of environments. The material choice ensures long-term reliability even under fluctuating temperature conditions. Integration into the system depends on the valve’s internal geometry and the desired flow rate. System designers should account for the insert’s fixed flow settings when planning for load variations and seasonal changes.

Service and operation

Routine inspection is recommended to ensure continued performance. Check for signs of wear or blockage in the orifice area, which can affect flow accuracy. The insert does not require regular maintenance, but cleaning may be necessary if the system is exposed to particulate matter. Any replacement should be carried out by trained personnel to avoid damage to the valve housing.

Frequently asked questions

Can this insert be used with valves other than IVAR.PICV 100 or 105?
No, it is specifically designed for those models. Using it with incompatible valves may cause leakage or incorrect operation.

Is it possible to adjust the flow after installation?
No, the insert provides fixed flow settings. Adjustment requires replacing the insert with another variant.

How does the colour coding assist in operation?
The colour coding helps identify the flow setting quickly, reducing the risk of incorrect installation or confusion in multi-valve systems.

What is the maximum allowable temperature during operation?
The insert is rated for operation up to +120°C, making it suitable for hot water and heating applications.
