How It Works:
Installed at the end of each supply branch, CircuitSolver® valves with ProPress ends automatically balance a domestic hot water recirculation system by continuously adjusting flow to maintain a set temperature at the end of each supply branch or riser.
The valves eliminate manual balancing while ensuring immediate hot water delivery to each fixture and accommodating flow to meet demand variations.
For ease of integration into ProPress systems, ProPress ends can be added to any CircuitSolver® thermostatic balancing valve configuration. Featuring Viega® Smart Connect Technology, CircuitSolver® with ProPress easily identifies unpressed ends, expediting installation and system startup time.
Typical Applications:
CircuitSolver® with ProPress valves can be used in any building with a domestic hot water recirculation ProPress system to keep the system thermally balanced and have hot water readily available at each fixture.
Used in commercial buildings of all sizes and DHW systems with varying complexity, CircuitSolver® installations often include hospitals, schools, hotels, high-rise, and multi-family apartment buildings.

CircuitSolver® thermostatic balancing valves can also balance the return flow between the master mixing valve and the water heater. Go to the Balancing a DHWS Return with CircuitSolver page to learn more about this application.
