Danfoss 013G-8565 Sensor And Dial

The Danfoss 013G-8565 is a professional-grade remote sensor and dial assembly designed for integration with RA2000 thermostatic radiator valves. Engineered for hydronic heating systems where the radiator is recessed or covered, this thermostatic operator features a generous 16 ft capillary tube to ensure accurate ambient air sensing away from the heat source. This configuration eliminates the common localized heating errors found in valve-mounted sensors, providing a high-performance wall mount temperature control solution for commercial and residential baseboard or convector applications.

Built with a liquid-filled sensor element, the Danfoss RA 8565 maintains a precise temperature range of 46°F to 82°F. The remote dial is easily installed on any standard wall surface, providing contractors with the flexibility needed for optimal placement in complex mechanical layouts. This hydronic heating accessory ensures consistent modulation of hot water or low-pressure steam, optimizing energy efficiency and occupant comfort through reliable non-electric temperature regulation.

• RA2000 Series Compatibility: Fits all Danfoss RA2000 valve bodies, including RA-N and RLV-type fittings.
• Extended 16-Foot Reach: The long capillary allows for remote mounting in draft-free locations, ensuring the sensor reflects true room temperature.
• Robust Control Range: Provides comprehensive adjustment from 46°F to 82°F, including integrated frost protection.
• Durable Fluid-Filled Element: Utilizes a high-accuracy liquid charge for rapid response to temperature fluctuations.
• Simplified Wall Mounting: Includes a combined dial and sensor housing for a clean, professional finish on any job site.

How do I install the Danfoss 013G-8565 if my valve is currently vertical?
While some valve-mounted operators require horizontal orientation to prevent heat interference, this remote dial and sensor model bypasses that issue. Since the sensing element is located at the wall-mounted dial, the valve orientation is less critical for sensor accuracy, though the valve body itself must still follow the manufacturer's flow direction markings.

Will this remote dial work with steam systems?
Yes, it is designed for use in both hot water and two-pipe low-pressure steam systems when paired with the appropriate RA2000 radiator valves.

What happens if the capillary tube is kinked during installation?
The capillary tube contains a liquid charge; a severe kink or break will result in loss of pressure and operator failure. Always maintain large radius bends and avoid sharp angles during the run from the valve to the wall dial.
