On my wish list to be able to buy off the shelf: A pressure reducing valve with a bypass that has unions so that you can orient the configuration.
8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour
Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab

The 5350 is a 3/4" fill valve, it flows around 8 gpm, up to 20 gpm if you don't mind the high velocity in your piping for the time period No levers, to move it is a fast fill valve by design.
So no need to pipe a bypass.
10 gpm is about all you get out of a 1/2 hp fill cart or pump.
Sweat, press, pex, npt connection options. Cartridge removal and replacement, or cleaning with a basic channelocks.
Its available as a body only and you could put a variety of 1/2" tailpieces on it.
Its generally sold on larger, commercial boiler installs, they are more likely to have 3/4 fill line.
The 535H is available as a 1/2" prv for domestic applications, but only goes down to 15 psi. We could load a lower pressure range cartridge in it, that is all we do with the 5350, it is a standard house prv with a lower cartridge pressure range. I'll run it by the product manager
