Belimo B216B Valve

The Belimo B216B Valve is a high-performance, 2-way characterized control valve (CCV) engineered for precise hydronic control in demanding HVACR environments. Utilizing a 1/2 inch NPT internal thread connection, this valve is designed with a 14 to 16 Cv rating to provide an equal percentage flow characteristic. This specific design ensures linear thermal output, effectively eliminating control loop hunting and extending the operational life of connected actuators. The nickel plated forged brass body and chrome plated brass ball provide superior durability for both chilled and hot water applications, maintaining integrity in temperatures up to 212 °F. Field-proven for compatibility with up to 60% glycol solution, this 1/2 inch ball valve is the standard for air handling units, VAV box reheat coils, and fan coil systems. The integrated Tefzel characterizing disc offers the precise throttling capabilities of a globe valve with the high close-off pressure (200 psi) typical of a robust ball valve assembly.

Key Benefits:

• Precise Flow Control: The patented characterizing disc ensures an equal percentage flow, preventing unstable regulation in partial load conditions.
• High Durability: Features a nickel plated brass stem and EPDM lubricated O-rings for maintenance-free service in high-cycle applications.
• System Versatility: Rated for a 600 psi body pressure and compatible with a wide temperature range, making it suitable for diverse hydronic loops.
• Optimized Energy Consumption: Better control stability reduces mechanical wear and optimizes the thermal efficiency of heating and cooling coils.

Common Questions:

What is the maximum glycol concentration for the Belimo B216B?
This valve is technically rated for use in hydronic systems containing up to a 60% glycol solution without degrading the internal seals or performance.

Can the B216B be used for steam applications?
No, the Belimo B216B is specifically engineered for chilled or hot water applications. For steam requirements, a high-temperature rated valve body should be specified.

Which actuators are compatible with this 1/2 inch valve?
The B216B is designed for seamless integration with Belimo TR, LR, and TF series actuators, supporting both fail-safe and non-fail-safe configurations.
