BELL & GOSSETT INTRODUCES 1"- 2" SWEAT CIRCUIT SETTERS^®
AND NEW KNOB DESIGN

Morton Grove, IL -- February, 1996 --- Bell & Gossett has announced an updated, improved version of its Circuit Setter^® Plus Balance Valve featuring sweat connections through 2" sizes, and a new adjustment knob and memory stop on 1/2"-1" sizes that make it more durable, and easier to adjust the memory setting.

To use the improved memory stop, a user rotates the red adjustment knob to a desired setting on the valve's nameplate, and locks the setting inplace by tightening a screw conveniently located on the face of the knob.

The addition of sweat connections up to 2" is in response to increased demand by contractors for sweat connections for smaller pipe sizes to reduce installation labor costs.

Each Circuit Setter Plus balance valve is a three-function precision instrument that can be used as a presettable balance valve, variable orifice flow meter and positive shut-off valve. The units are designed specifically to provide cost-saving, pre-set proportional system balance for hydronic systems. This system balance method, developed by Bell & Gossett, assures optimum system flow balance and allows for pump impeller trim to minimize system horsepower and operating costs.
