Eaton xComfort Electrothermal Actuator IP20 White (182450)

Heating and cooling valves in smart home systems often remain manually operated, making it difficult to achieve consistent temperature control and energy efficiency. The Eaton xComfort Electrothermal Actuator IP20 White (182450) solves this by providing wireless, automated valve control for radiators and underfloor heating circuits. It integrates directly into the Eaton xComfort Smart Home System, enabling remote and scheduled operation without the need for additional wiring to the valve.

Who is it for

This actuator is ideal for homeowners and building managers who already use the Eaton xComfort system and want to extend automation to heating and cooling valves. It suits retrofit projects where running new cables is impractical, as it is battery-powered and communicates wirelessly. Installers will appreciate the tool-free mounting on standard M30 x 1.5 mm valve threads.

Main features

• Electrothermal actuator with normally closed (NC) operation for fail-safe valve closing.
• Wireless bidirectional communication at 868.3 MHz for reliable integration with xComfort controllers.
• Powered by 2x AA 1.5 V batteries with a typical battery life of up to 5 years.
• Tool-free installation on valves with M30 x 1.5 mm thread, no special tools required.
• Manual override function allows valve operation even without battery power.
• Frost protection and valve protection features prevent damage in extreme conditions.
• LED status indicator for quick visual feedback of operation and battery status.
• IP20 protection class, suitable for indoor use in dry environments.
