GF-DPCV-01

Differential Pressure Control Valve

The GF-DPCV-01 is a differential pressure control valve designed for hydronic heating and cooling systems. It helps maintain stable differential pressure across variable-flow circuits, supporting hydraulic balance and consistent system operation.

Overview

Product Overview

GF-DPCV-01 is a brass differential pressure control valve with threaded connections. A sensing capillary and an internal diaphragm regulating mechanism adjust the valve opening automatically, holding the differential pressure across the controlled circuit within the set range.

The valve is intended for building heating, chilled water and variable-flow water systems, on circuits that require a stable branch differential pressure. It suits systems in which terminal control valves open, close or modulate frequently.

In variable-flow systems the network differential pressure moves as terminal loads change, which can lead to uneven flow distribution, unstable control valve operation and pipework noise. GF-DPCV-H-B-T responds automatically to changes in differential pressure, limiting the effect of network pressure fluctuation on the controlled branch and giving terminal control valves a steadier working condition, which improves hydraulic balance and operating stability.

FAQ

The catalog lists the H series in DN15-DN50 with external BSPP connections and no shut-off function. The D series is listed in DN15-DN32 with internal BSPP connections and a shut-off function. Confirm the current datasheet and ordered configuration before selection.

Provide the design flow, required differential-pressure setting, pipe size, connection, installation position and controlled circuit arrangement. The final selection should be checked against the current flow chart and supplier data.

The H-series setting scale is shown as 5-35 kPa. The D-series setting scale is shown as 5-25 kPa, with a catalogued factory default of 10 kPa. These setpoints are separate from the allowable differential pressure over the valve.

The application page refers to a supplied 6 mm capillary pipe, while the accessories page also lists the capillary pipe as an accessory for the D-series pairing. Confirm the exact standard supply scope and fittings for the ordered code.

The catalog states that the D series provides a shut-off function and the H series does not. Use a current supplier instruction before operating the valve for isolation.
