VU443, VU444; VU843; VU844
The VU844 Fan Coil Valve
Actuators are used in conjunction
with the VU52, VU53 and VU54
valves for controlling the flow of hot
or chilled water in commercial
HVAC equipment such as fan coil
units, terminal reheat coils and
convectors. These valves are
humidity resistant and are suitable
for use in condensing, non-
corrosive environments.
