Application

VB-9213 series single seat, stem down to close, two-

way valves control water from 40 to 281°F (4 to 138°C)

or steam to 281°F (138°C) maximum in heating or air

conditioning systems. They are used for two-position or

proportional control applications. Valve assemblies

require an actuator and a valve linkage that must be

purchased separately.

D A N G E R

Do not use for combustible gas applications. The

VB-9213 series valve packings are not rated for

combustible gas applications, and if used in these

applications, gas leaks and explosions will result.

Features

• Valve sizes 2-1/2" to 6".

• 250 psig pressure rating per ANSI Standards

(B16.15–1985) for screwed cast bronze bodies.

• 125 psig pressure rating per ANSI Standards

(B16.1–1993) for flanged cast iron bodies.

• Spring-loaded TFE packing.

VALVE SIZING AND SELECTION Water Two-position Two-position control valves are normally selected “line size” to keep pressure drop at a minimum. If it is desirable to reduce the valve below line size, then 10% of “available pressure” (that is, the pump pressure differential available between supply and return mains with design flow at the valve location) is normally used to select the valve.
PAGE 6
Steam Two-position Two-position valves are normally sized using a minimum of 10% of inlet pressure (psig). Proportional Proportional control valves are normally sized using: • • • For low pressure (15 psig or less), use ΔP of 80% of gauge inlet pressure. For steam pressures greater than 15 psig, use ΔP of 42% of absolute (gauge plus 14.7) inlet pressure. When the Cv required is between two valve sizes, select the larger size.
PAGE 7
Cavitation Limitations on Valve Pressure Drop A valve selected with too high a pressure drop can cause erosion of discs and/or wire drawing of the seat. In addition, cavitation can cause noise, damage to the valve trim (and possibly the body), and choke the flow through the valve. Do not exceed the maximum differential pressure (pressure drop) for the valve selected.

INSTALLATION Inspection Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products. Requirements • • • Tools (not provided): Pipe wrenches Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician Appropriate accessories WC A U T I O N • Install the valve with the flow in the direction of the flow arrow (“A” port is the inlet and “AB” port is the outlet).

Valve Assembly Tighten pipe using this pipe wrench. Use pipe wrench to prevent valve from turning. Figure-4 Installation of Screwed End Valves. Flanged Valve Bodies The VB-9213-0-5 series flanged valve bodies conform to American Standard 125 Lb. Cast Iron Pipe Flanges. The companion flanges (not provided) should be the same specification as the valve. The 125 lb. flanges have plain flat faces and should not be bolted to a raised faced flange. 1. All parts should be clean to assure the best results. 2.
PAGE 10
CHECKOUT 1. Make sure the valve stem operates freely before installing the valve linkage and the actuator. 2. If the stem does not operate freely, it may indicate that the valve was twisted or crushed during installation or that the stem was bent by rough handling. These conditions may require that the valve be replaced. 3. After the piping is under pressure, check the valve body and the connections for leaks. 4. After the valve linkage and the actuator are installed, check their operation.
