❌ 𝐌𝐘𝐓𝐇: A change in design flow means the insert must be replaced.
✅ 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓: In most cases, the required flow can be achieved by simply adjusting the existing PICV insert. Flow changes do not automatically require a new insert.

FlowCon PICV inserts are designed for flexibility. The maximum flow setting can be adjusted quickly and easily, allowing the valve to adapt to changing system requirements without replacing components. Furthermore, flow settings can be changed while the HVAC system remains in operation, simplifying optimization and retrofit projects.

LESS ACTUATOR MOVEMENT. LESS WEAR. LONGER LIFETIME.

FlowCon FIT is built on a true mechanical PICV foundation.

✔️ Less actuator movement
✔️ Extend actuator service life
✔️ Stable flow control without continuous actuator input
✔️ Hydraulic balance even if sensors fail

Because pressure-independent flow balancing is handled mechanically, not through constant actuator corrections.

Because product reliability begins with Quality Assurance

At FlowCon, quality starts long before a valve reaches our customers. That is why we are excited to welcome Nicklas Walsø Jepsen, who has joined FlowCon to strengthen our incoming quality control.

Nicklas brings a strong technical background as both a Production Technologist and Machine Designer, combined with experience from the food industry and extensive collaboration with international partners. Throughout his career, he has worked with technical verification, quality assurance and documentation.

For our customers, this means an even stronger focus on consistency, reliability, and product quality from the very first step of the manufacturing process. By ensuring that incoming components meet FlowCon's requirements before entering production, Nicklas helps safeguard the precision and long-term performance that our pressure independent HVAC solutions are known for.

His systematic approach, technical understanding, and experience with quality processes strengthen our ability to deliver products that perform as expected, every time.

We are happy to have Nicklas on board.

❌ 𝐌𝐘𝐓𝐇: PICV inserts are not suitable for modulating applications as they hold limited authority.
✅ 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓: PICV inserts deliver 100% valve authority and offer full stroke modulation regardless of the selected maximum flow setting.

FlowCon offers PICV inserts with full authority and full valve stroke at any selected flow setting.
The benefit? Control performance remains stable and predictable, while flow balance stays accurate under any load requirement and varying system conditions.

MORE FREEDOM – LESS HASSLE

One of the benefits of FlowCon valves is that they 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐩𝐢𝐩𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐯𝐞 and have 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬. That gives installers and designers much more flexibility when space is limited.

With FlowCon FIT, you get this installation freedom combined with smart energy valve functionality.

✔ Perfect for tight spaces
✔ Easier upgrades and retrofits
✔ Flexible installation, even upside-down
✔ More freedom in system design

When every centimeter counts, FlowCon FIT makes installation easier without compromising performance.

MYTH #2: Inserts do not have Stepless Setting

❌ MYTH: PICV inserts only come with fixed settings.

✅ FACT: Steplessly adjustable PICV inserts are the rule rather than the exception.

FlowCon offers PICV inserts with stepless adjustment, making it easier to adapt flow rates to the actual needs of a building. The same insert concept also supports different application requirements, providing flexibility from design through commissioning and future system adjustments.

The benefit? Easier installation, simpler system optimization, and a solution that can adapt as project requirements change.

𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞

In HVAC projects, it’s often the small choices that make the biggest difference later.

What if one solution could make installation easier, commissioning faster, and maintenance simpler?

That’s exactly what insert-based valve solutions do.
You can install valve housings early, flush the system properly, and then adjust the inserts safely at ground level before commissioning. Less work at height. Fewer complications. Better results from the start.

And it doesn’t stop there.
The same approach makes it easier to adapt, service, and handle the system over time without disrupting what’s already in place.

Most importantly, it all leads to one thing: stable, accurate flow and reliable performance throughout the system’s lifetime.

FlowCon International delivers this approach across a wide range of HVAC applications.
