CALEFFI QuickSetter+ 132 Series User manual

Function
The QuickSetter+™ static balancing valve contains a built-in flow
meter and sight gauge, negating the need for differential pressure
gauges and reference charts. Circuit balancing is fast, easy and
accurate. Constructed of DZR low-lead brass, QuickSetter+™ is
ideally suited for use in plumbing applications such as hot water
recirculation systems. The built-in check valve protects against
circuit thermo-siphoning. The outlet temperature gauge (optional)
verifies the fluid temperature in the circuit. The flow meter sight
gauge is dry (not exposed to the fluid) thus eliminating the possibility
of gauge clouding/scaling over time. The QuickSetter+™ can also
be used in heating systems.
Product range

temperature gauge.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION
This safety alert symbol will be used in this manual to draw attention to safety related instructions.
When used, the safety alert symbol means ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS
INVOLVED! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A SAFETY
HAZARD.
CAUTION: All work must be performed by qualified personnel trained in the
proper application, installation, and maintenance of systems in accordance
with all applicable codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: Over-tightening and breakage can occur with the use of Teflon®
pipe joint compounds. Teflon®provides lubricity so that care must be
exercised not to over-tighten joints. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in property damage and /or personal injury.
WARNING: System fluids are under pressure or temperature can be
hazardous. Be sure the pressure has been reduced to zero and the
system temperature is below 100°F (38°C). Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage and/or personal injury.
Caleffi shall not be liable for damages resulting from stress corrosion, misapplication or misuse of it products.
CAUTION: Make sure that all the connecting pipework is water tight.
CAUTION: If the series 132 balancing valve is not installed, commissioned
and maintained properly, according to the instructions contained in
this manual, it may not operate correctly and may endanger the user.

The balancing valves, with built-in flow meter, must be installed by
qualified technical personnel in accordance with the instructions given in
this manual and with current regulations.
Clean the pipes of any debris, rust, welding slag and any other
contaminants.
As in all piping circuits it is important to pay attention to the cleanliness
of the entire system.
For optimal operation, any air in the water must be removed.
In order to ensure measuring accuracy, the balancing valves with flow
meter must be installed by keeping a straight section above them at least
as long as five diameters, increased to at least ten diameters if the nearest
device upstream is a pump.

The valves must be installed so that:
- the direction of the flow agrees with that of the arrow on the
valve body.
- there is easy access to the flow meter valve, control stem and dial
with the calibration adjustment range.
The valves can be fitted on either vertical or horizontal pipes.

An example recirculation system is shown below:
Multiple hot and cold water risers are supplied from common hot and cold water mains. The
number and type of fixtures served by each set of risers will often be different. A recirculation
riser accompanies each set of hot and cold risers. A single circulator provides recirculation flow
through the entire system.
This type of piping network is similar to a 2-pipe direct return distribution system for hydronic
heating. Because of differences in the lengths or sizes of both the main piping and riser piping,
the recirculation flow through each set of risers is likely to be different. This can lead to different
temperature drops between the beginning of a given hot water riser and the end of its associated
return riser. This may cause the hot water temperature arriving at a distant fixture to be insufficient
for the intended usage.
This situation can be corrected by “balancing” the recirculation flow between the various sets
of risers. The goal of such balancing is to establish recirculation flow rates that create equal
temperature drop between the start of each hot water riser and the end of its associated return
(recirculation) riser.
Balancing is enabled with the QuickSetter+ 132X38AFC, balancing valve with flow meter, tempera-
ture gauge and check valve, near the end of each return riser. These valves are 0.25% max. lead
brass, certified to 2014 lead plumbing law by IAPMO, rated for contact with potable water.
The QuickSetter+ 132X38AFC includes a check valve so when installed as shown near the end of
each recirculation riser to prevent reverse flow. Also, when the risers are vertical, as shown, the
recirculation pipe should tee into the hot water riser below the final fixture take off. This allows any
air bubbles that may be present in the hot water riser to leave each time hot water is drawn at the
highest fixture.
Application: Balanced recirculating systems
