nofossil said:Interestingly, the 3/4 EBV looks to be lower than the 1". Could be a typo.
I just called Taco to ask about this. It turns out that the 1" uses the same opening size as the 3/4", and it essentially has a built in reducer and expander on each end to get to 1". The reducer is the cause of the lower cv for the 1". So if one were to use a 3/4" valve and add a reducer so that it could be used on a 1" line then the cv would probably be similar to just using the 1" valve with the built in reducer.
