2230 / 4430 2-Way Temperature Sensing Valves

SKU 2230-4430

The AMOT 2230 and 4430 2-Way Temperature Sensing Valves are compact, fail-safe thermal control devices that open automatically as temperature increases, venting control pressure to prevent overheating. These normally closed valves are ideal for controlling engine cooling water, lubricating oil, bearing, or packing temperatures in diesel, gas, and industrial systems.

Model 2230 features a durable brass body, while Model 4430 is constructed from 316 stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. Each unit uses a wax-element sensing mechanism to provide consistent, repeatable performance without electrical power. Factory-set temperature ranges are available from 30°C to 118°C (95°F–245°F), with a high-temperature option up to 129°C (265°F).

For integrated system protection, pair these valves with AMOT Thermostatic 2 Way Control Valves to achieve full thermal regulation across engines and process equipment.

Operation
Model 2230/4430 operation is simple and straight forward. As the temperature of the sensed fluid increases, wax enclosed in the valve’s temperature sensing element expands against a push rod, which in turn unseats a valve allowing flow to travel from the valve’s IN port and out the valve’s OUT port. For visual indication that the temperature valve has tripped, use AMOT Model 4054 Trip Indicator.
 
Model 2230/4430 Temperature Valves are set at the factory, and the trip temperature is stamped on the valve body. The valve will start to bleed control pressure at 1.1°C to 2.2°C (2°F to 4°F) below its calibrated setting. Do not operate 2230/4430 beyond the valve’s maximum continuous operating temperature. Both models are field service/adjustable.
