Bell & Gossett Circuit Setter Valves – Quick and efficient water flow

The plumbing valve, in simple terms is what you use to control the flow of water in a water system.

A Bell &Gossett circuit setter valve is a type of balancing type valve which is commonly applicable in an HVAC or plumbing system to control and manage the pressure in the entire system or inside a part of the system.

When it comes to plumbing, a circuit setter valve is used to optimize the pressure between hot and cold water within the potable water system.

The earlier trends were to use a check valve and a ball valve. The check valve would close a hot or cold water flow if there was an impulsive fall in the pressure and the ball valve made use of a memory stop to control the flow.

This helped to avoid the cold or hot water bleed-over if case of increased or decreased pressure conditions in the piping system.

How to find the right circuit setter valve?

Before you buy a circuit setter you need to first determine these features:

• The adjustment range of the circuit setter valve
• The kinds of test ports available on the valve. The valves need to have a port for temperature and another one for pressure.
• The valves should allow provision for a partial shut down for isolation purposes

The Bell & Gossett Circuit Setter Plus is a calibrated balance valve provides a fixed proportional system balance.

After it was unveiled in the HVAC industry in 1968, the Bell & Gossett Circuit Setter has shown unmatched performance in proportionally balancing Hydronic HVAC systems.

This revolutionized circuit setter, developed by Bell & Gossett, ensures an optimum system flow balance at the least pump functioning horsepower.

The balancing valves can easily be pre-set with the help of the Bell & Gossett Circuit Setter Balance Valve Calculator or the System Syzer application for PC, iPhone, or iPad.

Technical Specifications

• The Bell & Gossett Circuit Setters are offered in a wide variety of sizes and designs to cater to different plumbing demands.
• The valves are made of brass in sizes ½” through 3”. It makes use of a full port ball valve with calibrated nameplate and comes with a memory stop and two integrated pressure/temperature ports for easy ∆P measurement.
• All the brass Circuit Setters are CSA certified and is in fulfilment with the low lead requirements of California, Vermont, Maryland, Louisiana, and NSF//ANSI 372.
• For bigger and extensive water systems, Circuit Setters are also offered in ball style (2½” – 4”) and globe style (4” – 12”).
• The globe style valves comprise of a multi-turn stem, calibrated nameplate, memory button for easy re-setting of the valve position after shut-off/isolation, and integrated pressure/temperature ports.

Advantages of the Bell & Gossett circuit setter valves

These are often regarded as the best valve types existing for water systems because the circuit setters have a balance valve built into them which regulate the proper water pressure to keep the water system in balance without any manual intervention.

These Circuit setters also include monitoring and measuring points along with a shutoff valve system. This feature lets you allow flow of water to one area of the system, while successfully keeping the other part of the system closed and stable while cutting down energy consumption by stopping water flow to one part of a building. This is feature is very helpful for water heating systems in huge buildings, when one part of the building might be undergoing renewal or otherwise is out of order.

The Bell & Gossett Circuit setters also make it simple and effortless to make plumbing changes to the building without messing up the existing plumbing system.

Other advantages include:

Disadvantages

The only disadvantage of the Bell & Gossett Circuit setter valves is that they are not meant for residential purposes. A house or smaller building would be more benefitted with a manual balancing valve.
