Hydrolevel VXTC-WF Water Feeder
The Hydrolevel VXTC-WF (Part Number 45-127) is a pro-grade 120Vac programmable water feeder engineered specifically for high-demand commercial steam boiler applications. This logic-controlled unit integrates seamlessly with all major low water cut-off (LWCO) and pump controller brands, providing precise makeup water management. To ensure system stability, the 45-127 features a programmable delay (0 to 10 minutes), allowing adequate time for condensate to return to the boiler before initiating a feed cycle. Once active, the solenoid valve can be configured to feed precisely to the LWCO level or beyond (up to 120 seconds additional) to reach a preferred operating height. This specific VXTC-WF model includes a 3/4 inch Y-strainer and a 10 GPM flow restrictor to protect internal components from sediment while maintaining consistent flow rates. Built-in lock-out flood protection identifies sustained calls for water, effectively preventing boiler flooding caused by external system failures.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- Programmable Delay Settings: Adjustable from 0 to 10 minutes to prevent overfilling and short-cycling in large commercial systems.
- Universal Compatibility: Works with both probe-type and float-type boiler level controls for versatile installation options.
- Sediment Protection: Included Y-strainer and 3/4 inch brass adapters ensure long-term solenoid reliability by filtering pipe scale and debris.
- Safety Lock-Out: Integrated protection automatically halts feeding after 10 continuous minutes to safeguard against catastrophic flooding.
- Diagnostics: High-visibility LED display provides real-time status updates, including standby, delay, or feed modes for rapid troubleshooting.
Does this model include a water meter?
No, the VXTC-WF model includes the feeder, strainer, and flow restrictor but does not include a water meter. For the complete assembly with a cast bronze water meter, specify the standard VXTC model.
Can I use this on a 24V system?
This specific model is a 120V AC unit. Ensure the electrical supply from your low water cut-off matches this voltage before installation.
What pipe size does this feeder support?
The unit is designed for 3/4 inch NPT connections, often utilized in larger commercial steam systems where standard 1/2 inch feeders provide insufficient flow.
