Taco 570-2 Hydronic Zone Valve – 1/2″ Sweat, 2-Way, 24V Heat Motor Actuator
The Taco 570-2 is a 1/2″ sweat connection, 2-way zone valve engineered for use in hydronic heating systems. It utilizes a 24V heat motor actuator with spring return to provide automatic flow control in response to a thermostat or relay signal. The valve is normally closed and opens when powered, isolating individual zones for precise temperature management.
Part of the 570 Gold Series, this model is designed for closed-loop heating systems and features a twist-off actuator head for fast service without disturbing the valve body. Its durable construction and silent operation make it suitable for residential and light commercial installations requiring reliable zone control.
