What are the flow paths of a PiCV valve?
The PICV is a control valve with close tolerance flow paths. Flushing through these valves may introduce debris which could block the flow paths.
Is the crane FS PiCV a pressure independent valve?
Some manufacturers claim their valve is pressure independent if it controls flow. A truly pressure independent valve controls flow and has a pressure independent control characteristic. The Crane FS PICV is fully pressure independent. Q.03 What are the test points used for?
Can a PiCV be used as an isolating valve?
Control valves are not designed to be isolating valves. However, for routine maintenance purposes, i.e. strainer cleaning, the actuator can be removed, and a manual cap fitted which can be used to close the valve. Q.10 How do I commission using PICVs?
Which is the best peak Pro PiCV valve?
New to the range is the Peak Pro PICV you can also watch the video here. Designed and developed in the UK, tested to BSRIA PICV standards and utilising high quality materials, these valves can provide equal percentage performance which delivers optimum control valve authority.

How does the Hattersley PiCV valve system work?
How Does the Hattersley PICV Work? 1 Differential Pressure Control As the flow rates in the distribution pipework fluctuate to match demand, the available… 2 Flow regulation By changing the open space through which the water flows within the valve, the flow rate can be… 3 Comfort Control More
How does a valve tag identify a valve?
The tags must identify the valve and usually do so by including the valve number. The tag also typically identifies the valve type and system of which the valve is a part. It’s important to note that the type of valve specified is dependent upon its function rather than on the design of the valve.
