Resideo VCZAM1100 Valve

The Resideo VCZAM1100 Valve is a professional-grade 3/4 inch sweat zone valve designed for demanding hydronic applications, including fan coil units, baseboard radiators, and convectors. Engineered with a bronze body and a stainless steel stem, this 2-way cartridge cage valve provides a high 4.6 Cv capacity and a linear flow characteristic for precise temperature control. It is rated for 60 psi close-off pressure, ensuring reliable performance in systems utilizing chilled or hot water with up to 60% glycol concentration. Designed for seamless integration with on/off VC style actuators, this valve features EPDM O-ring seals to maintain a leak-proof seal under domestic and commercial operating conditions. The balanced valve design allows for high pressure differentials without compromising actuator longevity, while the replaceable cartridge design enables rapid field servicing without the need to drain or remove the entire valve body from the line.

• Durable Construction: Built with a rugged bronze body and corrosion-resistant stainless steel stem for long-term reliability in harsh hydronic environments.
• Serviceability: The internal cartridge cage can be replaced or serviced in minutes, significantly reducing downtime for the end-user and labor costs for the contractor.
• High Close-Off: Rated for 60# close-off pressure, preventing ghost flows and ensuring tight shut-off in high-head pump applications.
• Glycol Compatibility: Validated for use with high-concentration glycol solutions (up to 60%), making it suitable for modern cooling and heating systems.
• Universal VC Fit: Direct compatibility with all Resideo and Honeywell VC series actuators without the need for specialized tools for installation.

Is the VCZAM1100 compatible with my existing Honeywell actuator?
Yes, this valve body is designed specifically for 1000 and 3000 series on/off VC style actuators, allowing for easy drop-in replacement on existing manifolds.

Can I install this valve in any orientation?
The valve is bi-directional, providing flexibility during field installation, though standard practice suggests following the flow arrow on the bronze housing for optimal performance.

Do I need to drain the system to replace the internal cartridge?
No, one of the primary advantages of the VC series cartridge cage valve design is that the actuator and cartridge can be serviced without draining the entire hydronic loop, provided you have the proper cartridge wrench.
