KMC Controls VEZ-4403AMBN Valve
The KMC Controls VEZ-4403AMBN is a heavy-duty 3/4" 3-way globe zone control valve engineered for professional HVAC applications including VAV reheat coils, fan coil units, and induction systems. This diverting zone valve features a robust forged brass body and an NPT threaded connection for a reliable, leak-free seal in hydronic heating and cooling loops. Operating on 24 VAC, the integrated 2-position actuator utilizes a spring-return mechanism with an AB-B fail-safe mode, ensuring the system defaults to a safe state during power loss. With a 4.1 Cv flow capacity and a maximum inlet pressure of 125 PSI, this assembly handles high-demand commercial environments with ease. The compact footprint and tool-free actuator replacement simplify installation and maintenance in tight plenum spaces, while the manual override offers critical field control. For contractors seeking a 3/4 inch zone valve with precise flow regulation, the VEZ-4403AMBN provides the necessary durability and high close-off pressure ratings required for modern hydronic balancing.
Key Benefits for Contractors
