VBB/VBS Series Ball Valve
Assemblies
Application
The VBB and VBS Series valves with SmartX Actuators are
2-Way or 3-Way, 1/2” or 3/4”, characterized ball valves. The M3
and M2 SmartX Actuators are direct coupled to the VBB/VBS
Series valves and accept two-position, floating or proportional
control signals from a DDC system, controller, or thermostat for
control of hot or chilled water, or solutions of up to 60% glycol.
Typical applications include VAV reheat, fan coil units, hot and
chilled water coils in air handling units, heat pumps and unit
ventilators.
Features
• Easy product selection — all actuators fit all valve bodies.
• Fast, easy actuator installation — no linkage or tools
required.
• Flow characterizing insert provides equal percentage flow
characteristic for stable, accurate floating and proportional
control.
• ANSI IV seat leakage (0.01%) for both 2-Way and 3-Way
valves (A and B port).
• Brass and stainless steel trim models.
• Cvs from 0.3…10.
• Normally open, normally closed, and non-spring return
assemblies available.
• Two-position, Floating or Proportional (0…5 Vdc, 0…10 Vdc,
5…10 Vdc, or 4…20 mA dc).
• Proportional actuator is direct or reverse acting.
• RoHS Compliant (VBS Assemblies).
• Reach Compliant.

Application Note for 2-Way and 3-Way Valves
The VBB/VBS Series Ball Valves are Characterized Control Ball Valves. They are designed so that ow thru the A-port exhibits
equal percentage ow. Thus, the A-port is the control port.
In a three-way valve, the B-port is the bypass port. Flow thru
the B-port is designed to be less than that of the A-port. In most
applications, this reduced ow compensates for the pressure drop that is seen by the coil supplied by the A-port.
