Danfoss AVP-F (003H6231) — self-acting differential pressure controller with a fixed, factory-preset setpoint, PN 16, DN 15, for district heating and central heating systems. The AVP-F holds a stable differential pressure across the controlled circuit so that connected control valves keep their authority; unlike the adjustable AVP it has a fixed (non-adjustable) setting of 0.5 bar and no adjustment handle, giving a tamper-proof, permanently set Δp. Unlike the AVPB it is a differential-pressure controller only (no integrated flow limiter). It consists of a control valve and an actuator with one control diaphragm. kVS 2.5 m³/h; fixed differential-pressure setting 0.5 bar. Maximum differential pressure 12 bar; medium temperature 2–150 °C; leakage 0.02% of kVS (IEC 534). Valve body red bronze CuSn5ZnPb (Rg 5), valve seat stainless steel 1.4571, valve cone dezincing-free brass CuZn36Pb2As, control diaphragm EPDM. Connection external thread G ¾ A (ISO 228/1) via tailpieces (ordered separately). Media: circulation water / glycolic water up to 30% (pH 7–10). OEM P/N 003H6231.

Danfoss AVP-F for DN 15 district-heating or central-heating circuits where a permanent, tamper-proof differential-pressure setpoint is required. Size by the branch design flow (kVS 2.5 m³/h); the setpoint is fixed at 0.5 bar and cannot be field-adjusted — select the code that matches the required Δp. Confirm the connection (external thread G ¾ A, ISO 228/1) and pressure class (PN 16) match the pipework; order the matching tailpiece/union-nut set and impulse tube separately. For a field-adjustable setpoint use the AVP; for combined differential-pressure control and flow limiting use the AVPB instead. Maximum differential pressure 12 bar, medium temperature up to 150 °C.
