Description
The Emerson Climate-White Rodgers 1311-102 zone valve with auxiliary switch (AuxSW) is a key component in hydronic heating systems. It regulates the flow of hot water to designated zones within a building, ensuring efficient and comfortable heating. When activated by a thermostat signal, the valve’s internal motor opens or closes, allowing hot water to circulate through specific zones. The built-in auxiliary switch offers additional functionality, potentially controlling a boiler or circulator pump based on system demands. This zone valve is constructed with durable stainless steel for longevity and features a maximum pressure rating of 15 psi. It can handle hot water temperatures up to 240°F, making it suitable for most residential heating systems. While not directly regulating gas, it can handle systems with a maximum capacity of 1000 BTU. The valve operates on a standard 24V electrical supply and utilizes NPT threaded connections for secure and leak-proof installation. By incorporating zone valves, homeowners can achieve targeted heating, ensuring comfort in occupied areas while reducing energy consumption in unused zones. This translates to cost savings and a more environmentally friendly operation of your hydronic heating system.
