Description
Crane D995 Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV)
Precision Flow Control for High-Efficiency HVAC Systems
The Crane Fluid Systems D995 Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) is a next-generation balancing and control valve designed to provide precise hydronic flow regulation in variable flow heating and chilled water systems. By combining differential pressure control, flow balancing, and modulating control into a single compact valve, the D995 simplifies system commissioning while maximizing energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
Developed as part of Crane’s Peak Pro PICV series, the D995 offers an extended flow range compared with previous generations, enabling engineers to select smaller valve sizes without compromising system performance. This results in lower installation costs, reduced plant space requirements, and improved hydraulic stability.

Applications
The Crane D995 is ideal for:
- Fan Coil Units (FCU)
- Air Handling Units (AHU)
- Chilled Beams
- Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems
- Commercial office buildings
- Hotels
- Hospitals
- Universities
- Data Centers
- District cooling and heating systems
Benefits
Stable Flow Performance
The integrated pressure regulator automatically maintains the preset flow regardless of pressure fluctuations throughout the HVAC network, ensuring consistent coil performance.
Faster Commissioning
Integrated measuring ports allow engineers to verify pressure differential and valve operation without installing additional balancing devices.
Reduced Energy Consumption
By maintaining stable flow and allowing pumps to operate at optimized speeds, the D995 contributes to lower pumping energy and improved overall building efficiency.
Compact Installation
The lightweight body and smaller dimensions simplify installation in ceiling voids, fan coil units, and other confined plant spaces.
Long Service Life
Each valve undergoes extensive endurance testing, including 10,000 operating cycles—equivalent to approximately 15 years of normal HVAC operation.
