Floor Heating Valve

Application:
Ordering Information:
The floor-heating valve (FHV) provides an
economical method of incorporating a radiant
floor heating system into an existing hot
water or radiator system. FHV self-acting
regulators are well suited to handle underfloor
heating temperature in single rooms, such as
bathrooms, entry ways or kitchens.
FHV control valves are flexible to use, easily
installed and are available in two versions:
FHV-A control valves are ideally suited to
control individual underfloor heated rooms.
The FHV-A is placed on the supply side of a floor
heating system, and is capable of providing
hydraulic balancing via the FHV-As integral
pre-setting feature. In controlling the room air
temperature a standard RA 2000 operator is
fitted to the FHV-A valve.
FHV-R valves are designed for systems using
floor heating in conjunction with radiators. The
valve is place on the return side of the radiant
floor system. The valves operator, FJVR, senses
the return fluid temperature of the system
and regulates the valve appropriately. When
the FHV-R is used for a radiant heating system,
the maximum floor heated area should not be
greater than 110 sq. ft.
Note the flow temperature must not be
permitted to exceed the maximum supplied
water temperature as recommended by
the floor heating supplier. This can be
accomplished via use of Danfoss 3-way (MR)
or 2-way (FTC with RA 2000 or RAVV with VMT)
thermostatic valve and a circulator in the floor
heating loop.
When ordering the FHV assembly order the valve body, appropriate operator, tail pieces and union
nuts.
Valve bodies include wall box, cover and valve
Code No. Description Cv*
003L1001 FHV-A pre-settable valve body 0.05-0.92
003L1000 FHV-R retur temperature limiting valve 1.03
*Cv is the eater flow rate through the fully open valve at a pressure drop of 1 psi. To determine the pressure drop through the valve
at other flow rates use the formula: ∆P = (Q/Cv)
2
, where Q = water flow in GPM
