It features a brass and polyamide body and a epdm seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/2 inch calibrated flow measurement and balancing valve monitors system flow in low to medium flow rate HVAC units, providing highly accurate flow measurement and adjustment. It consists of a brass and polyamide body with F-NPT connections, integral patented technology that allows the reading and setting of flow rate without the need for instrumentation or tools. It is equipped with a GPM gauge to read flow and a hand wheel to set and lock the flow setting. Its ball valve construction allows full shut-off capability and is ideal in hot\/chilled water units such as fan coil units, water source heat pumps, reheat coils, panel coils, small branch lines, unit heaters, unit ventilators, finned radiation and convectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral flow measurement technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGPM gauge for reading flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wheel for setting flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePositive shut-off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need a separate meter to read the flow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The iDROSET CSD-050 reads flow directly. It has an integral GPM dial, factory-calibrated to +\/-10%, so you turn the handwheel until the dial shows the design flow and lock it there. No differential-pressure meter, no hoses, no flow-chart lookup, and no second trip to the mechanical room. It holds that accuracy across a 25:1 turndown.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it also shut off the circuit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes. The iDROSET CSD-050 gives positive, drip-tight shutoff, so it doubles as the service valve for the circuit and you do not have to buy and install a separate ball valve next to it. The memory stop preserves your balanced setting: close the valve for service, reopen it against the stop, and the circuit returns to the same flow without rebalancing.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on a domestic hot water recirculation line?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNo. The iDROSET CSD-050 is not a lead-free model, so it is restricted to closed hydronic heating and chilled-water loops and other non-potable service. For DHW recirculation balancing, choose the lead-free equivalent — the Watts LFCSM-61-S (PT-port) or LFiDROSET CSD (direct-reading).\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e NPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass and Polyamide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat \/ Seal Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydronic Heating\/Cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Year Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMPN:\u003c\/strong\u003e iDROSET CSD-050\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead-Free:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalancing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct-Reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balancing;Flow Measurement;Shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Readout:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integral direct-reading GPM dial — no separate meter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMemory Stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePositive Shutoff:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Accuracy (+\/- %):\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurndown Ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25:1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Watts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54935514513707,"sku":"0856700","price":311.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/3168\/9577\/files\/c5b97034407a506c6dcfcbee8628f8dcbc7ad65c_08f0d054-8ad6-478c-9b56-af1e91620fdb.jpg?v=1785984329","url":"https:\/\/citysupplygroup.com\/products\/watts-0856700","provider":"City Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
