Description
The Belimo B316 is a high-performance 3-way ball valve engineered for precision flow control in chilled water and hot water HVAC systems. With a 1/2″ NPT connection and a 16 Cv flow coefficient, this valve delivers reliable, accurate performance in a wide range of commercial and industrial hydronic applications.
Dual-Port Flow Characterization
The B316 features two distinct port flow characteristics optimized for system performance:
- A-Port: Equal percentage flow characteristic for precise, proportional modulation across the full stroke range
- B-Port: Modified flow characteristic engineered to maintain constant common port flow, ensuring stable system pressure and balanced distribution
Premium Construction
Built to withstand the demands of continuous HVAC service, the B316 features a robust material package:
- Nickel plated forged brass valve body for corrosion resistance and long service life
- Stainless steel ball and stem for durability and reliable sealing performance
- 1/2″ NPT end connections for straightforward installation in standard piping systems
Application Suitability
- Rated for chilled water and hot water applications up to 250°F maximum
- Ideal for fan coil units, air handling units, heat exchangers, and terminal unit control
- Designed to pair with Belimo actuators for complete valve-actuator assembly solutions
- Suitable for 2-pipe and 4-pipe hydronic systems in commercial buildings
