Typical Installation
To System
The Flow Control Valve is a modulation valve which throttles to control and limit flow. To correctly size this valve and andavoid undesirable operating characteristics (noise, excessivewear and poor pressure control) which result from oversizing(or undersizing) use the Sizing Guide Section and choose the smallest valve size which satisfies the maximum flow requirement.

In order to insure pressure control and avoid excessive noise and maintenance expense, extreme care must be takenwhen sizing the throttling valve for a specific application. Although both pressure conditions and flow (velocity) arecontributing factor, field experience has determined that flow rate is the most critical factor and that proper valve sizingcan be attained through consideration of the flow rate alone.
The maximum flow rates in tables below for Model C (Full ported valves) are based on a velocity of 15 ft per second,(fps) or 4.6 meter per second, (m/s). The throttling valve is capable of handling larger flows for short periods of time;however, the increase in maximum flow should be limited to 25% of the above values. Minimum flow rates are based on0.5 feet/second flow rate (0.15 meter per second, m/s). Valve should be selected to be opened between 20-80% for bestefficiencies and service life. The flow values for Model CF (Reduced ported valves) in the table below are less as theyhave smaller valve orifice or seat areas.
The tables below indicate the desired throttling valve size (inches) for designated maximum and minimum flow rates ingallons per minute (GPM):
