VG1000 Series Forged Brass Ball Valves Product Bulletin 31
Application Overview
Available in sizes 1/2 through 2 in. (DN15 through
DN50), VG1000 Series Ball Valves are designed
specifically for automated commercial HVAC service.
These valves feature a forged brass body with either a
chrome-plated brass ball for water or glycol solutions to
203F (95C), or a 300 Series stainless steel ball for
high temperature water to 284°F (140°C) and saturated
steam to 15 psi. The Amodel Flow Characterizing Disk
maintains equal percentage Flow Characteristics for
optimum temperature control, as shown in Figure 2.
The blowout-proof stem and mounting flange,
combined with an innovative double O-ring stem seal
and self-centering stem bushing design (shown in
Figure 3) provide quick and easy electric actuator field
mounting while ensuring long life and leak-free valve
performance. The specially engineered,
graphite-reinforced PTFE seat with flexible PTFE seat
design (backed with EPDM O-rings) significantly
reduces the operating torque, allowing the smallest
possible electric actuator available to provide the force
required for the specific application. All valve and
actuator assemblies provide 200 psig (1,379 kPa)
closeoff pressure while ensuring operation after long
idle periods. Because of their cost-effective, reliable
design, VG1000 Series Ball Valves are maintenance
free.
VG1000 Series Ball Valves are designed for factory or
field mounting to a wide variety of Johnson Controls®
M9000 and VA9000 Series Electric Actuators. Control
signal selections include:
• floating point without timeout
• on/off and floating point
• on/off
• proportional
1. To avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor for the AGx models, use a controller or software that provides a timeout
function to remove the signal at the end of rotation.
2. Cv has a characterizing disk.
