Two-way Cartridge Cage Valves 
are intended for hydronic 
applications in a normal indoor 
environment to control the flow of 
hot water or chilled water glycol 
solution to 60% concentration. 
These valves are designed for zone 
control of heating/cooling systems, 
or to control individual fan coil, 
baseboard radiator or convector 
applications. Depending on the 
model selected they can be 
controlled by SPST or SPDT two 
position controller, tristate (floating), or modulating proportional 
controller. For trouble-free operation of the product, good 
installation practice must include initial system flushing, 
chemical water treatment, and the use of a 50 micron (or finer) 
system side stream filter(s). Remove all filters before flushing.
