Belimo B261 Two-Way Ball Valve Overview
The Belimo B261 is a heavy-duty, two-way characterized control ball valve engineered for reliable performance in demanding chilled water and hot water HVAC applications. With a 2-1/2″ NPT connection and a generous 60 Cv flow coefficient, this valve delivers precise, equal percentage flow control across a wide range of commercial and industrial hydronic systems.
Premium Construction
Built to last in tough mechanical room environments, the B261 features a nickel-plated forged brass body paired with a stainless steel ball and stem. This combination provides outstanding corrosion resistance, long service life, and dependable sealing integrity — even in glycol-treated systems.
