WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
1 Proper water treatment is recommended; refer to the VDI 2035 Guideline.
2 Rangeability is defined as the ratio of maximum controllable flow to minimum controllable flow.
3 In steam applications,
install the valve with the stem horizontal to the piping and
wrap the valve and piping with insulation.
