Danfoss 013G-8023 Angle Body
As a seasoned contractor, you know that the Danfoss 013G-8023 is a staple for professional hydronic and steam system upgrades. This RA2000 1" Horizontal Angle Body is engineered specifically for side-mount applications in two-pipe systems. It features a robust nickel-plated brass construction that handles the rigors of high-capacity residential and commercial environments without flinching. With a Cv rating of 2.8 and a maximum working pressure of 145 psi for water and 15 psi for low-pressure steam, this valve provides the precise flow control needed for radiators, convectors, and baseboard units. The FNPT x MNPT union connection simplifies installation in tight spaces, while the horizontal orientation ensures that your thermostatic operator is positioned away from rising convection heat for accurate sensing. One of the best time-savers on the job site is the replaceable packing gland assembly, which allows for maintenance while the system is fully operational. When you are looking for a reliable thermostatic radiator valve body to pair with Danfoss RA2000 operators, the 013G-8023 is the industry standard for durability and thermal performance.
Key Benefits- Enhanced System Accuracy: The side-mount angle design prevents ambient heat from the radiator from interfering with the thermostatic sensor.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty nickel-plated brass resists corrosion and ensures a long-term, leak-free seal in demanding hydronic loops.
- Serviceability: The internal packing gland can be replaced under pressure, eliminating the need for a full system drain-down during routine maintenance.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit all Danfoss RA2000 series operators, providing flexibility for various setpoint and sensing requirements.
- High Temperature Tolerance: Rated for flow temperatures up to 250°F, making it suitable for both hot water and low-pressure steam applications.
Is the operator included with the Danfoss 013G-8023 valve body?
No, this is the valve body only. You must purchase a compatible Danfoss RA2000 operator (such as the 013G8250) separately to complete the thermostatic control assembly.
Can this valve be used on a one-pipe steam system?
No, the 013G-8023 is designed strictly for two-pipe low-pressure steam or hot water systems. One-pipe steam systems require a specialized air vent valve to function correctly.
What is the purpose of the manual plastic cap provided with the valve?
The plastic cap protects the stainless steel pushpin during shipping and allows for manual flow adjustment during the initial system startup and balancing before the permanent operator is installed.
