White-Rodgers 1361-104 Valve

The White-Rodgers 1361-104 is a professional-grade 1-1/4 inch sweat zone valve designed for high-capacity hydronic heating systems. Featuring a 2-wire 24V configuration, this motorized valve simplifies field installations by utilizing a screw terminal wiring panel and an integrated auxiliary switch (end switch) for direct burner or circulator relay control. The stainless steel valve stem and self-aligning barrel-type design ensure reliable seating and smooth transitions, effectively eliminating system "hammer" during operation. With a high flow coefficient of 42.2 Cv, this valve provides minimal friction loss (equivalent to 6.5 feet of pipe) and supports a maximum system pressure of 50 PSI and water temperatures up to 240°F. A key advantage for service technicians is the removable motor assembly, which allows for motor replacement or internal seal maintenance without the need to drain the entire hydronic loop, significantly reducing downtime and labor costs during repair calls.

• Serviceable Design: The motor assembly can be detached from the 1-1/4" sweat body without breaking the plumbing seal or draining the system.
• Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel stem and rugged housing for longevity in demanding boiler applications.
• High Flow Performance: Optimized 42.2 Cv rating ensures maximum efficiency in larger residential and light commercial hydronic zones.
• Integrated Control: Built-in 2-amp auxiliary contacts provide seamless signaling to the boiler or primary pump once the valve is fully open.
• Manual Override: Includes an automatic recycling manual operator that provides clear visual position indication and allows for manual system testing.

Can I replace the motor without removing the valve body?
Yes, the White-Rodgers 1361-104 is designed so the power head can be removed by depressing the retaining tabs and rotating the assembly, allowing for motor replacement while the system remains pressurized.

Is this valve compatible with 3-wire thermostat setups?
The 1361-104 is a 2-wire normally closed valve. While typically used with 2-wire thermostats, it can be integrated into various control panels; however, it is not a direct drop-in for the 1311 series 3-wire "power-open/power-close" systems without wiring modifications.

What is the maximum differential pressure this valve can handle?
This 1-1/4" hydronic zone valve is rated for a maximum differential pressure of 15 PSI across the valve to ensure reliable opening and closing cycles under load.
