Danfoss 013G-8018 Angle Body

The Danfoss 013G-8018 RA2000 Side Mount Angle Valve is a professional-grade solution for 2-pipe hydronic heating systems and low-pressure steam applications. Built with a nickel-plated brass body, this 3/4 inch radiator valve features a unique side-angle configuration, specifically designed to fit thermostatic radiator operators in spaces where horizontal clearance is limited. With a fixed capacity Kvs value of 2.1 m³/h (Cv of 2.1), it provides precise, non-electric flow regulation for free-standing radiators, baseboard heaters, and convectors.

Engineered for technical reliability, the 013G-8018 utilizes an EPDM rubber valve disc to ensure a positive, leak-proof seal against the valve seat at differential pressures up to 15 psi. A critical feature for maintenance teams is the integrated packing gland, which is replaceable while the system is under pressure, significantly reducing downtime during service. This Danfoss RA2000 valve body supports working pressures up to 145 psi (static) and withstands flow temperatures as high as 250°F, making it a versatile component for residential and commercial hot water heating control.

• Universal Compatibility: Mounts seamlessly to the full range of Danfoss RA2000 thermostatic sensors and actuators.
• Strategic Design: Side-mount angle pattern with 3/4" FNPT inlet and 3/4" MNPT union tailpiece allows for cleaner piping in tight retrofit applications.
• Operational Efficiency: Normally-open design ensures system safety, while the included plastic protection cap allows for manual flow control during the initial system startup.
• Corrosion Resistance: High-quality nickel-plated finish prevents mineral buildup and extends the life of the valve body in aggressive hydronic environments.

Common Questions

Is this valve compatible with one-pipe steam systems?
No, this valve is designed for 2-pipe hydronic (hot water) and two-pipe low-pressure steam systems. One-pipe steam systems require specialized air venting valves that this model does not provide.

Can the packing gland be replaced without draining the system?
Yes, the RA2000 series is specifically engineered with a grease-cup lubricated packing gland that can be serviced while the heating system is fully operational.

What is the purpose of the plastic cap included with the valve?
The cap protects the stainless steel pushpin during transit and installation. It can also be used to manually open or close the valve before the thermostatic operator is installed.
