Taco’s newest Zone Sentry Zone Valve – with an inverted flare – is ideally suited to retrofit and new construction work. The zone valves improve the overall performance of any hydronic system that uses a zone valve. Uniquely, Taco’s zone valve line uses microcircuit-based logic to control a gear-driven electronic actuator that drives a ball valve-based body design.
Taco’s Zone Sentry valve is available with either a normally open or normally closed actuator. The valve can be installed in any direction, in any orientation. Snap-in quick connects on the back of the valve make for a simple, secure wiring hook-up. A green LED shows full functionality of valve operation.
Ideal for use with a wide variety of heating and cooling applications, Zone Sentry valves were designed primarily for baseboard, fan coil, radiator, convector, heat pump and radiant applications. The valves are now available in ½”, ¾”, 1”sweat or NPT and inverted flare (less fittings) and inverted flare (with ¾” sweat fittings) and draw only 1.44 watts.
The Zone Sentry is easy to install and operate, and the one-handed liftoff actuator means that tight space is no longer a concern.
The addition of this connection to the Zone Sentry line allows contractors to replace an existing inverted flare valve with the Zone Sentry without having to cut and sweat pipe, greatly reducing retrofit time. For new installations, it allows the installer to use the type of product he prefers, with improved performance.
It was a timely boiler plant upgrade for Martha Currie Elementary School in Surrey, B.C. with the introduction of six new condensing IBC boilers.

It was a timely boiler plant upgrade for Martha Currie Elementary School in Surrey, B.C. with the introduction of six new condensing IBC boilers. How to manage the fluctuating flow rates with multiple zones from an older design laden with equipment coils and high-flow pumps became a non-issue with the introduction of a Caleffi hydraulic separator. Our first finalist from Canada, Robert Cenedese’s design was the November winning entry in the Caleffi Excellence contest.
Pictured are: Robert Cenedese (Rocky Point Engineering), Tom Popovich (Rocky Point Engineering), Phil Rempel (Rocky Point Engineering), Mark Swain (Rocky Point Engineering) and Kai Mark (Equipco Ltd.)
Rocky Point Engineering Ltd.’s winning entry was determined by most audience votes received during a recently held Coffee with Caleffi webinar. Cenedese was presented with an iPad™ mini by Kai Mark, Equipco Ltd., and is now a contender for the grand prize: a trip to Italy to our global headquarters. After 12 months, the grand prize winner will be chosen from the 12 monthly winners by a panel of industry experts and Caleffi executives.
It’s not too late to share your design innovation in the Excellence contest. You could win a trip to Italy! Visit us.caleffiexcellence.com for contest details.
