Trane VAL8562 Valve

The Trane VAL8562 is a professional-grade 1/2" 3-way control valve specifically engineered for precise flow regulation in HVAC hydronic systems. This high-performance valve body features a 0.6 Cv flow coefficient, making it an ideal choice for low-flow applications such as fan coil units, terminal reheat coils, and localized zone control. As a direct replacement for the VAL4316, it ensures seamless mechanical compatibility during system retrofits and maintenance. The unit is designed as a "less actuator" configuration, allowing technicians to pair it with a 24V floating or modulating actuator depending on the specific control requirements of the automation system. Constructed with a durable brass body, the VAL8562 valve supports either mixing or diverting configurations to maintain stable water temperatures and system pressures. This OEM component is critical for contractors looking to restore factory-standard efficiency and precise fluid flow control in liquid-source heat pumps and chilled water loops.

• OEM Compatibility: Serving as the official direct replacement for VAL4316, this valve eliminates installation guesswork and ensures proper fitment within Trane air handlers and terminal units.
• Precision Metering: The 0.6 Cv rating allows for high-resolution throttling, preventing hunting in small-bore piping systems and improving overall energy efficiency.
• Versatile Piping Logic: Optimized for 3-way mixing and diverting applications, providing flexibility for varied mechanical room layouts.
• Rugged Construction: Built with industrial-grade materials to withstand the thermal stresses typical of constant-volume and variable-flow hydronic circuits.
• Actuator Flexibility: The valve less actuator design allows the professional to select the specific torque and signal protocol (floating or proportional) required for the site's building management system.

Is the VAL8562 compatible with older VAL4316 installations?
Yes, this model is the Trane VAL8562 direct replacement for the discontinued VAL4316, maintaining the same 1/2-inch connection size and 0.6 flow coefficient for a drop-in match.

Can this valve be field-configured for 2-way operation?
While designed as a 3-way body, technical specifications indicate that some 3-way 0.6 Cv valves can be converted to 2-way flow by installing an NPT plug in the "B" port, though 3-way operation is the primary design intent.

What type of actuator should be paired with this valve?
The VAL8562 is typically paired with standard Trane 24V drive-open/drive-closed or modulating actuators that match the valve's stem travel and linkage requirements.
