Elite product from Hattersley

Hattersley, Hook-Up Elite Prime, pressure independent control valve, Venturi metering

The Hattersley Hook-Up Elite Prime is a lightweight and modular valve system that includes the Elite Prime pressure independent control valve (PICV) for accurate flow, temperature and pressure control.

The compact units have an integral Venturi metering station for an improved flow range; a small footprint with equal length pipework; and the ability to orientate the valve on-site for an easier and faster installation on typical fan coil units.

By utilising the Hattersley gap detection actuator, the system is able to achieve excellent valve authority at all settings. This allows for maximum efficiency gains against required pump settings to achieve the required flow rates.

The Hook-Up Elite Prime has been designed to deliver and maintain a system that enables energy and cost reduction over its lifetime. Prior to production, the PICV has undergone significant design validation testing in accordance with BSRIA BTS01, subjected to 10,000 cycles, which is equivalent to 15 years of typical service, and the performance has remained excellent. In addition, every Elite Prime PICV is pressure tested to BS EN 12266-1 and has a production flow limitation test in accordance with BTS01.

Available with BSRIA flushing valves on flow and return as well as a 4-Port valve option to provide a constant flow rate irrespective of load demand. Suitable for minimum flow and end-of-line applications.
