Manual 3-way mixing valve

Jeff Perry_3

I am doing a job and am using Danfoss/ESBE manual 3-way mixing valves on each radiant zone. Needed 4 valves and had exactly that many on the shelf. Went to go install them and 1 ended up being a 4-way. When I went to buy another 3-way I see that Danfoss has completely changed the style of their valves. The old number valve is an 065B8971 and the new number is a 193B1501. Now I could buy one of these, or a Tekmar or whatever but I am very much into the aesthetics of a job, as are most of you guys. Everything should be the same. Everthing should line up. If possible I would like to install the same valve. I can't find one anywhere.

Does anyone have a 3/4" 3-way ESBE they'll sell me or trade me. It's the old style that has the reversible metal plate under the knob and has 0-10 imprinted on it to show the proportional mixing.

I'd appreicate anyone's help.

Thanks

Whoops

Danfoss pic didn't show up for some reason. Blue handle valve is Tekmar. This is Danfoss.

Check with Buderus. They use the ESBE valve and motor with the Logomatic Control with FM Card. I know they have it in their price book just don;t have access to them or a book to look in.

ESBE

It's been awhile, but I used to buy ESBE products from a guy named Lief at Paxton Corp.:

handles

I see the difference, both the valves are ESBE, just proprietary handles for tekmar or danfoss. At one point Uponor used ESBE valves, check there.

Problem Solved

Thanks to someone on The Wall who emailed me with a phone number I was able to contact someone that had one in stock. It should be on its way to me now.

Ah, the power of the worldwide web and The Wall.

Thanks to Dan
