    Three way valve
    Should this valve be installed on the supply or return chilled water line to the (FCU) fan coil unit. Should it be three way mixing or diverting valve.Please describe how it works once installed in the chilled water circuit, preferably with sketch if possible.Thanks

    3-way valve is installed in the return. The mixing type is usually used with 2 inlets and one outlet.
