Key Functional Highlights

(This section introduces the main control functions of the modulating valve and actuator assembly, and their engineering value in the relevant HVAC water system.)

(01) Protection Grade IP54
The IP54 protection level allows the modulating valve to operate in typical mechanical rooms with dust and light moisture. This helps reduce actuator damage risk during operation. For exposed installations, it improves long-term stability and lowers maintenance needs.

(02) Dual Power Supply Flexibility
This modulating valve supports both 220V and 24V power supply options. It helps match different control systems and site conditions. This flexibility reduces additional equipment requirements and simplifies installation and commissioning work.

(03) Modulating Control for Accurate Adjustment
The modulating valve supports continuous control signal input for precise flow regulation. This allows stable temperature control under varying loads. It improves system efficiency and helps avoid temperature fluctuation issues. If you need On/Off version, you can refer to this link: HTW-18C5 On/Off.

(04) Wide Size and Configuration Options
The modulating valve is available in 2-way and 3-way configurations from 1/2 inch to 2 inch. This allows proper matching with different piping layouts. Correct sizing supports stable system balance and avoids flow mismatch problems.

(05) BSP Thread for Easy Installation
Standard BSP thread ensures compatibility with most HVAC piping systems. It avoids the need for extra adapters in many cases. This simplifies installation and reduces potential leakage points.

Project Fit & Customization

(This section describes project suitability, system limitations, actuator matching conditions, and available OEM options.)

This modulating valve is not suitable for steam systems or corrosive liquids. It should not be used beyond rated pressure or temperature limits. Incorrect signal type or actuator mismatch may cause unstable control or failure.

Despite the limitations mentioned above, certain details—such as power supply, actuator type, connection type, or wire length—can be evaluated based on project needs and order quantity.

OEM supported, including logo printing, label customisation, packaging adjustment, and basic appearance identification. These options can be discussed based on project requirements and order quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. How do I select the correct control signal?

You need to confirm if your controller outputs a compatible modulating signal. The valve must match the signal type. This ensures stable and accurate operation.

Q2. How do I choose the correct valve size?

Valve size depends on pipe diameter and system flow requirement. Proper sizing helps maintain system balance. Incorrect sizing may cause instability.

Q3. Can this valve be used for mixing applications?

Yes, 3-way versions support mixing or diverting flow. It depends on system design. Please confirm piping layout before selection.

Q4. What media and pressure conditions are suitable?

This modulating valve supports water or neutral liquids. Pressure must be within PN40 rating. Always verify system conditions before use.

Q5. What is the MOQ and do you support samples?

We support sample orders for testing. The typical MOQ is 100 units. Trial quantities can be discussed based on project needs.

Q6. How do we place an order?

We confirm your requirements and provide a PI. Payment supports TT, PayPal, or Visa. Terms such as EXW, FOB, or DAP are available.

Q7. What is the lead time?
