Manufacturer News: New Manual Balance Valve from Griswold Controls

Written by Kelly Patterson | Mar 10, 2016 3:29:31 PM
Griswold Controls is excited to announce the launch of the QuickDisc™ manual balance valve. This valve combines a traditional venturi for flow measurement with a ceramic disc never before used in the HVAC market. Ceramic discs have been used for years in the plumbing industry and are a perfect option to replace the more expensive ball valve typically used in HVAC. Please view this video which shows the disc’s movement and explains the benefits of the QuickDisc.
 
 

 
QuickDisc valves are available in 1/2” and 3/4” sizes, with or without unions. This product complements the current 1/2” to 18” QuickSet® manual balance valve offering.
 
QuickDisc valves provide flow balance, flow metering, and shut-off capabilities all in one valve. They assure optimal system balancing with minimal operational horsepower requirements, while at the same time providing initial purchase price cost savings. These valves are equipped with a calibrated nameplate and memory stop indicator, thus permitting the valve to be preset to a fixed open position and then closed for service without disrupting the preset “open” valve setting. QuickDisc manual balance valves offer only one Cv per size, making product selection and sizing easy.
 
QuickDisc valves will be available for shipment in mid-May.
