Butterfly valves are terrible for flow control. Using smaller valves will help but your trying to control 5 floors and since its uninsulated pipe is it condenser water?

It was an assumption on my part that this was a condenser pressure control application as there is an isolation valve on the entering water piping. 10/4, I will put the crow back on ice for now.

In this picture the valve may actually be correctly sized but utilizing an actuator that is too slow. Interesting CCSPIERCE. I have never seen this choking down, just to accommodate a valve size before? If this is as you say it is, then maybe i should defrost the crow, and do some digging. Thanks for Sharing.

You should see this other place were the triple duty valve has no manual valve before it. 5 floors worth coming above the header. Sent from my LG-M327 using Tapatalk

Why the reduction at the valve? What is that, 10" pipe with an 8" valve?
CDW Valves Verify. Verify. Verify. CDW Valves were not scoped correctly and more importantly the Actuators were well below spec. Inlet doesn't have a manual valve, so a switch that interrupts the RIB Coil Common was installed. Not exactly a spool piece and new manual valve, but you have to get it done.
