Easton, PA (PRWEB) January 21, 2014 -- For the first time when commissioning and balancing a building, mechanical contractors will be able to take direct flow measurements, which allows for on-the-spot diagnostics and problem solving. The advancements in building commissioning are now possible with the Tour & Andersson (TA) Series TCP Pressure Independent Balancing and Control Valve (PIBCV), which is available through Victaulic, the world's leading manufacturer of mechanical pipe-joining systems and the exclusive North American representative for TA products.

The TA Series TCP PIBCV outperforms traditional PIBCV products as the balancing and control valve functions are separate with full stroke EQM modulation, providing superior control valve authority regardless of preset position. Both functions are optimized, providing building owners and designers the ability to optimize energy savings through superior flow control.

“We want contractors and specifiers to have the utmost confidence in knowing that they can have 100 percent comfort without sacrificing energy efficiency,” said Scott Sargent, product manager at Victaulic. “The TA Series TCP PIBCV fulfills this need by optimizing energy efficiency through proper flow control.”

Building commissioning and balancing provides a smoother construction process, reduced operation and maintenance costs, lower energy costs and comfortable building occupants. The TA Series TCP PIBCV is designed and manufactured to provide energy-efficient hydronic balancing of heating and cooling systems. It ensures accurate hydronic control and optimum throughput over a long lifetime. The valves are available in ½”, ¾”, and 1” with or without an actuator. Larger sizes are also available within the FUS1ON Balancing line for 1 ¼ through six inches.
