NIBE Three Way Valve 22x28x22mm

Description

This three-way diverter valve from NIBE is a central component for controlling and optimizing heat flows in modern heating systems. The valve housing is constructed of durable, dezincification-resistant brass to withstand demanding operating conditions and ensure a long service life indoors. With factory-fitted connections of 22x28x22 mm and compression ring coupling, the valve offers safe and tight piping during service or new installation.

Function and application in heat pumps

A three-way valve acts as the heart of the distribution of the energy produced by the heat pump. The valve automatically directs the heat carrier fluid to where it is needed most, either to the property's radiators and underfloor heating coils or to the hot water heater for the production of domestic hot water. This dynamic switching ensures even indoor comfort and access to hot water without unnecessary energy loss.

Advantages of compression ring coupling and brass construction

The brass construction provides excellent protection against wear, corrosion and temperature changes in the heating circuit. The integrated compression ring coupling makes the installation both clean and time-efficient, as the installation takes place completely without the need for hot work or soldering. This creates a mechanically strong and reliable joint that can withstand the continuous pressure and temperature variations of the plant.

Preventive maintenance and replacement of spare parts

Moving valve parts in heating systems are continuously exposed to particles, limescale and temperature cycles, which over time can cause seized valve seats or micro-leakage. By replacing a worn three-way valve with a suitable spare part in the correct dimension, the system's full efficiency and pressure balance are restored, while the compressor and circulation pump are relieved of unnecessary wear.

Advice for installation and adjustment

During installation, it is important to ensure that the pipe ends are straight cut, deburred and clean before tightening the clamping rings according to the applicable torque specifications. Also check the flow direction against the system drawings so that the distribution between the climate system and the hot water circuit ends up correctly in relation to the actuator's movement pattern.
