Danfoss 132B0101 Thermostatic Valve Body | 1/2" NPT, Angle Pattern, 0-6 bar, 120°C

Danfoss 132B0101 Thermostatic Valve Body | 1/2" NPT, Angle Pattern, 0-6 bar, 120°C

Danfoss 132B0101 thermostatic radiator valve body specifications. 1/2" NPT angle valve, 0-6 bar, 120°C max, brass body. For HVAC and heating system temperature control.

Product Overview

The Danfoss 132B0101​ is a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) body​ designed for automatic temperature control in heating systems. This model features 1/2" NPT threaded connections​ in an angle pattern, operates with a maximum working pressure of 6 bar, and can handle media temperatures up to 120°C. The "132B0101" is a Danfoss order number identifying this specific valve body configuration. This component serves as the base valve onto which a thermostatic or manual actuator head is mounted, providing flow regulation for radiators or convectors in hydronic heating systems.

Technical Specifications

Note: Specifications are based on typical Danfoss RA series thermostatic valve bodies. The "132B0101" order code typically corresponds to a valve body only, without the thermostatic actuator head. Exact Kvs, dimensions, and materials should be confirmed with the specific product datasheet.

Key Features

• Angle Pattern Design:​ Ideal for radiator connections where pipes come from the floor or wall at 90 degrees.

• Brass Construction:​ Durable, corrosion-resistant brass body with chrome plating.

• Standard RA Thread:​ Compatible with Danfoss RA, RAV, and RA-Series thermostatic and manual heads.

• Bidirectional Flow:​ Can be installed in either flow direction, though optimal performance follows marked arrow.

• High Temperature Resistance:​ Suitable for standard heating systems up to 120°C.

• Easy Integration:​ Standard 1/2" NPT connections for simple installation in piping systems.

• Reliable Sealing:​ EPDM seals ensure long-term leak-tight operation.

• Versatile Base:​ Accepts various control heads (thermostatic, manual, lockable, programmable).

System Configuration Notes

• This is a valve body only.​ It requires a separate thermostatic head (e.g., Danfoss RA- or RAV-series) or a manual control head for operation.

• For system balancing, this valve body typically requires either:

  • A pre-setting valve​ installed in the return line, OR

  • An adjustable thermostatic head​ with pre-setting function.

• Without proper pre-setting, the heating system may not be hydronically balanced.

Typical Applications

• Residential Heating Systems:​ Two-pipe radiator installations in houses and apartments.

• Commercial Building HVAC:​ Office, school, and hotel radiator connections.

• Retrofit and Renovation:​ Modernizing existing radiator installations with individual room control.

• Hot Water (Hydronic) Heating Systems:​ Standard water-based heating systems.

Important Technical Notes

1. Component Only:​ This order number (132B0101) typically refers to the valve body only. A thermostatic actuator head (sold separately) is required for automatic temperature control.

2. System Balancing:​ This valve body is usually not pre-set. System hydronic balancing must be achieved using a separate pre-setting valve on the radiator return or an adjustable thermostatic head with a pre-setting function.

3. Pressure Rating:​ Do not exceed the 6 bar (87 psi) maximum working pressure. Ensure system pressure is controlled within this limit.

4. Temperature Limit:​ The maximum continuous media temperature is 120°C. Do not use in steam systems.

5. Installation Position:​ The valve body can be mounted in any orientation. However, for accurate room temperature sensing, the attached thermostatic head should be installed horizontally​ to sense room air, not direct heat from the radiator or pipes.

6. Compatible Heads:​ Designed for Danfoss RA-threaded heads (M30×1.5). This includes RA, RAV, and related thermostatic head series.

7. Flow Direction:​ While bidirectional, installing in the recommended flow direction (indicated by an arrow on the body) ensures optimal performance and longevity.

Note: This data sheet provides generic specifications for a Danfoss 1/2" NPT angle pattern thermostatic valve body. For complete and precise technical data, installation instructions, and compatibility information, consult the official Danfoss RA/RAV Series Technical Documentation. Always verify the exact product configuration (body only vs. complete valve) with the supplier for order number 132B0101.
