Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NUTECH from 3G Electric.
What is the flow range and accuracy of NUTECH manual balancing valves?
NUTECH manual balancing valves are available with flow ranges from 1.6 gpm to 50 gpm, depending on the model. For example, the MB4-4A-200F-200F has a flow range of 15 to 50 gpm with a minimum flow of 15 gpm, while the MB2E-2A-100S-100S has a flow range of 1.6 to 5 gpm with a minimum flow of 1.6 gpm. Both models offer an accuracy of ±3%. These valves are constructed from brass and are used to regulate water flow in hydronic systems.
What types of connections are available on NUTECH balancing valves?
NUTECH manual balancing valves are offered with either FNPT (female national pipe taper) or sweat connections. For instance, the MB4-4A-200F-200F features FNPT connections, while the MB2E-2A-100S-100S uses sweat connections. The combination strainer/ball valves also come in FNPT x FNPT or sweat x sweat configurations, such as the SV2E-075F-075F (FNPT) and SV1E-075S-075S (sweat). The connection type should be selected based on the piping system and installation requirements.
What is included with NUTECH combination strainer/ball valves?
NUTECH combination strainer/ball valves integrate a strainer and a ball valve in a single forged brass body. They include a stainless steel screen for debris filtration. Depending on the model, they may also include a hose end drain valve or a pressure/temperature port. For example, the SV2E-075F-075F includes a hose end drain valve, while the SV3E-125F-125F includes a pressure/temperature port. These valves provide shut-off and filtration, reducing the need for separate components in a system.
What sizes are available for NUTECH strainer/ball valves?
NUTECH strainer/ball valves are available in nominal sizes from 3/4 in to 2 in. Specific models include the SV2E-075F-075F (3/4 in), SV2E-100F-100F (1 in), SV3E-125F-125F (1 1/4 in), and SV4-200F-200F (2 in). Both FNPT and sweat connection styles are offered across these sizes. The appropriate size should be selected based on the pipe diameter and flow requirements of the system.
What materials are used in NUTECH balancing valves and strainer/ball valves?
NUTECH manual balancing valves are constructed from brass. The combination strainer/ball valves are made from forged brass and feature stainless steel screens for filtration. These materials are suitable for water-based hydronic systems and industrial fluid applications. The forged brass construction provides durability, while the stainless steel screen resists corrosion and maintains filtration performance over time.
