Application

Ball Valve Assemblies

The TAC VA, VF, and VS-2x13-5xx-9-xx series Ball

Valve Assemblies are complete actuator/valve

assemblies that accept two-position, floating, or

proportional control signals, respectively, from a DDC

system or from a thermostat, for control of hot water or

chilled water, or solutions of up to 50% Glycol. These

valve assemblies consist of direct

-coupled spring

return or non-spring return actuators mounted on

2-way (1/2" to 3") and 3

-way (1/2" to 2") ball valve

bodies.

Typical applications include reheat on VAV boxes, fan

coil units, hot and chilled water coils in air handling

units, and unit ventilators.

Ball Valve Body/Linkage Assemblies

Ball Valve Body/Linkage Assemblies, which allow the

field mounting of actuators, are also available.

Installation of Mx40-704x Spring Return Actuators Install the spring return actuator onto the ball valve according to Figure-1. Note: Only the 35 lb-in. and 70 lb-in. actuators listed in Table-1 are compatible with Vx-2x13-5xx-9-xx Ball Valve Assemblies. 1 For Normally Open 2-Way and Normally Open A to AB 3-Way Verify that the valve is in the open position (A to AB open on 3-way valves).

Installation of Mx41-6043 and Mx41-6083 Non-Spring Return Actuators Install the non-spring return actuator onto the ball valve according to Figure-2. Note: Only the 35 lb-in. and 70 lb-in. actuators listed in Table-1 are compatible with Vx-2x13-5xx-9-xx Ball Valve Assemblies. 1 1 Verify that the valve is open. The flats on the sides of the shaft (or the index mark on top of old-style shafts) indicate the position of the ball port.

Valve Mounting General Piping Practices Figure-3 and Figure-4 illustrate how 2-way and 3-way ball valve assemblies are to be piped. 2-way ball valves with spring return actuators are shipped normally open with a voltage rise to close. 2-Way 1 2 2 1 Current-style Shaft 2 Characterized 2-way ball valves should be piped in the direction of water flow (labeled with an arrow on one side of the valve body).
PAGE 7
Insulation of Ball Valve Assembly The ball valve should be completely insulated to minimize the effect of heat transfer and condensation at the actuator. Caution: The actuator itself must not be insulated. Doing so can result in excess heat or condensation within the actuator. Temperature Limits for Ball Valve Assembly When installing the ball valve assembly, observe the minimum and maximum temperature limits, given below (Table-2).
PAGE 8
0° £ 85° 1 £ 85° Apply pipe sealant sparingly to all but the end two threads of a properly threaded, reamed, and cleaned pipe. 2-way valves must be piped with an inlet and an outlet. 3-way mixing valves must be piped with two inlets and one outlet. Caution: Make sure the pipe chips, scale, etc. do not get into the pipe since this material may lodge in the valve seat and prevent proper closing and opening of the valve. 2 Start the joint by hand-threading the pipe into the valve.

Manual Valve Positioning of Mx40-704x Spring Return Actuators Before applying power to a ball valve assembly on a new installation, it may be desired to manually open the valve for system filling at startup. Manually open the ball valve assembly according to Figure-7 (current-style bracket) or Figure-7 (old-style bracket). 1 Disconnect power from the actuator. 2 4 Loosen the two nuts on the shaft clamp, using a 10 mm wrench or socket. To restore normal operation: a.

Rotate the valve shaft back to its original spring return position. b. Using a 10 mm wrench or socket, evenly tighten the two nuts on the shaft clamp, applying 8 to 10 lb-ft (11 to 14 N-m) of torque. c.

Manual Valve Positioning of Mx41-6043 and Mx41-6083 Non-Spring Return Actuators Before applying power to a ball valve assembly on a new installation, it may be desired to manually open the valve for system filling at startup. Manually open the ball valve assembly according to Figure-8 (current-style bracket) or Figure-9 (old-style bracket). Note: The Mx41-6043 and Mx41-6083 series actuators feature a manual override that allows them to be manually positioned for system startup (or emergencies).

1 Disconnect power from the actuator. 2 Press and hold the manual release slider to disengage the gears. 1 MX41-6043 MX41-6083 Manual Release Slider 3 Insert a small screwdriver or a 1/8” steel pin into one of the two holes at the top of the valve shaft. Then rotate the shaft fully CCW (90° rotation) to open the valve. 2 1 Caution: Only use the manual override when the actuator drive motor is not powered. Engaging the manual override when the actuator is powered will cause damage to the gears.
