Belimo B214B Ball Valve

The Belimo B214B is a high-performance 1/2-inch 2-way Characterized Control Valve (CCV) designed for precise regulation of hot or chilled water in hydronic systems. Engineered for demanding HVACR applications, this valve features a 7.4 Cv rating and a nickel-plated forged brass body that supports a maximum body pressure of 600 psi. The integration of a Tefzel characterized disc ensures a true equal percentage flow characteristic, providing the linear thermal control typically associated with globe valves but with the high close-off capabilities of a ball valve. With a 0% leakage rate through the A-port and compatibility with up to 60% glycol solutions, the B214B is ideal for air handling units, VAV box reheat coils, and fan coil units. Its chrome-plated brass ball and nickel-plated stem are built to withstand media temperatures up to 212°F (100°C), making it a reliable choice for contractors focused on system efficiency and long-term HVAC control valve stability.

Key Benefits:

• Precise Flow Control: The patented characterizing disc eliminates hunting in the control loop, ensuring stable coil output.
• High Close-Off Performance: Rated for a 200 psi close-off pressure, providing reliable shut-off in variable flow systems.
• Corrosion Resistance: Forged brass construction with a nickel-plated brass stem and chrome-plated ball.
• Simplified Sizing: Comparable Cv values to globe valves allow for easier selection without extensive pipe reductions.
• Versatile Compatibility: Seamlessly pairs with Belimo LR, TR, and LF series actuators for flexible field installation.

Common Questions:

Which actuators are compatible with the B214B?
This valve body is designed to work with Belimo TR, LRB(X), and LF series actuators. Contractors should select the actuator based on the required torque and fail-safe requirements of the specific application.

Can this valve be installed in any orientation?
While the Belimo B214B can be mounted in various positions, it is recommended to install it with the stem vertical or at an angle not exceeding 90 degrees from vertical. It should never be installed with the stem pointing downward to prevent condensation from entering the actuator.

What is the maximum glycol concentration allowed?
The internal EPDM O-rings and PTFE seats are rated for use with water/glycol mixtures containing up to 60% glycol by volume, covering most standard commercial heating and cooling requirements.
