FAQ's | Stainless Steel Valves
How do these valves improve hydronic system performance in data centers?
They automatically regulate flow rates across changing load conditions, ensuring proper coil performance and thermal balance across all zones. This helps reduce energy waste and improves the efficiency of chilled water systems.
Why are stainless steel balancing valves ideal for data centers?
Data centers demand maximum reliability and uptime. Stainless steel balancing valves resist corrosion, tolerate high temperatures, and maintain long-term flow accuracy—making them a superior choice for critical cooling systems.
What are common applications for these valves beyond data centers?
In addition to data centers, stainless steel balancing valves are commonly used in:
• Cold storage and refrigerated facilities
• Food processing and commercial kitchens
• Cleanrooms and biotech manufacturing
• Coastal or marine applications
Are these valves certified for food-safe or potable water use?
Yes. Our stainless steel valves are available with NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 certifications, making them suitable for food-safe and potable water environments where cleanliness and compliance matter.
How do these valves support energy efficiency in hydronic systems?
By maintaining consistent flow rates regardless of system pressure changes, automatic balancing valves reduce pump overwork, cut down energy consumption, and help optimize HVAC performance—ideal for large, continuously operating facilities like data centers and cold storage warehouses.
What sizes and configurations are available?
We offer stainless steel automatic balancing valves in sizes from ½” to 2”, with threaded or flanged connections. Custom port configurations and assemblies are also available to fit project-specific requirements.
Are stainless steel balancing valves recommended for data centers?
Yes. Data centers benefit from stainless steel due to its durability in high-demand cooling applications. These valves help maintain precise flow across variable loads, supporting efficient chilled water system performance and preventing hot spots.
Do you offer technical support or submittal drawings?
Yes. Every stainless steel valve comes with complete submittal drawings, flow charts, and technical support to help engineers and contractors specify with confidence.
Can I retrofit a brass balancing valve with a stainless steel one?
Yes. In most cases, our stainless steel valves can be used as direct replacements for brass models. Our team can help ensure proper fit and compatibility with your existing system.
Do stainless steel valves come with pressure/flow measurement ports?
Yes. Many models include integrated pressure and flow ports for easy commissioning and diagnostics. We also offer models with optional port configurations based on your system design.
Can these valves be used in high-temperature or high-pressure systems?
Absolutely. Stainless steel construction provides excellent strength and performance under elevated temperatures and pressures. Contact us for specific pressure and temperature ratings per model.
What makes stainless steel a better choice over brass?
Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in high-humidity, chemically-sensitive, or food-grade environments. It’s often required in facilities where sanitation, longevity, and system cleanliness are top priorities.
What are stainless steel automatic balancing valves used for?
Stainless steel balancing valves are designed for hydronic systems where durability and corrosion resistance are critical—especially in environments like data centers, food processing facilities, and cold storage where reliability is non-negotiable.
