Ball Valve Assembly Selection Procedure
When selecting a ball valve assembly, you must determine the applicable codes for the control signal type, valve body configura-
tion, end connection, port size, and actuator. Select a ball valve assembly part number as follows:
1. Control Signal Type, Valve Body Configuration, and End Connection
Refer to “Ball Valve Assemblies Using SmartX 5xx Actuators” on page 157 or “Ball Valve Assemblies Using SmartX 8xx
Actuators” on page 158, and then select the appropriate codes for these part number fields.
2. Valve Size (Flow Coefficient)
If the required flow coefficient (Cv) has not yet been determined, do so as follows:
a. Refer to the “Sizing and Selection” on page 171 to calculate the required Cv.
b. Select the nearest available Cv and corresponding valve body port code from “2-Way Ball Valve Assemblies with SmartX
Actuators” on page 159 or “3-Way Ball Valve Assemblies with SmartX Actuators” on page 160.
3. Actuator
Select the appropriate actuator and code, according to “Ball Valve Assemblies Using SmartX 5xx Actuators” on page 157 or
“Ball Valve Assemblies Using SmartX 8xx Actuators” on page 158, based on the control signal type, required valve normal
position, and voltage requirements. For detailed actuator information, refer to the applicable actuator specifications.
NOTE: Ball Valve Assemblies with SmartX Actuators use the basic actuators. However, if an actuator with auxiliary switch(es) is required, you
may field-assemble a ball valve assembly using a ball valve body/linkage assembly (VB-2x13-500-9-xx). For information on switch-
equipped actuators, refer to Assemblies with Mx40-704x SR SmartX Actuators” on page 167 and Assemblies with
Mx4D-703x/803x SR SmartX Actuators” on page 168, “Assemblies with MF/Ms41-6043/83 NSR SmartX Actuators” on page 166.
4. Close-off Pressure
Confirm in Table-4, Table-5, Table-6, and Table-7 that the selected actuator and valve body combination provides sufficient
close-off pressure. If no close-off pressure is shown, the valve body/actuator combination is not valid.
5. Available Space
If available space is a consideration, check the appropriate dimensional figure (Figure 1 through Figure 8) and its accompa-
nying table for any potential fit problems.
