VB6 SERIES 6-WAY CONTROL BALL

VALVES AND ACTUATORS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATION

The VB6 6-Way Control Ball Valves regulates hot and

chilled water with glycol solutions up to 60% in heating,

ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

These valves ship with a direct coupled actuator factory

installed for modulating control. The valve is designed to

be used exclusively with MN7510A2001 actuator.

Application Notes

IMPORTANT: Valve sizing is important for correct

system operation. Undersized valves do not have

sufficient capacity at maximum load. Oversized

valves do not have sufficient authority over the load

in modulating applications.

Oversized valves can cause excessive cycling and

the seat and ball can be damaged because of the

restricted opening.

Proper Use

These valves are intended for use in chilled water and hot

water closed loop applications only, with a media

temperature range of 0 ºF to +212 ºF (-18 ºC to 100 ºC),

and static pressures up to 600psi. These valves are NOT

suitable for oil, combustible gases, or steam.

These valves are to be operated with the Honeywell

MN7510A2001 actuator only.

Water should be properly filtered, treated and conditioned

for good operating performance, according to local

conditions, and recommendations of the boiler or chiller

manufacturers. The installation of strainers and filters is

recommended.

IMPORTANT: The presence of excessive iron oxide

(red rust) in the system voids the valve warranty.

Required Operating Torque

The VB6 series 6-way control ball valves are to be operated

with the Honeywell MN7510A2001 actuator only

These valves use a patented seat design that reduces the

torque needed. The nominal required operating torque is

88 lb-in.

Flow Characteristic

The VB6 series 6-way Ball Valves have true equal

percentage flow characteristic, thanks to precision

machined metal discs in front of the ball.

Valve Sizing

Typical pressure drop across a control valve is in the range

of 3 to 5 psid, however the best control is achieved when

the valve pressure drop is as close to the coil pressure

drop as possible. A 6-Way valve will have two C

calculations, one each for Sequence 1 and Sequence 2,

which will feature different flow rates most of the time.

VB6 series 6-Way Control Ball Valves and Actuators - Installation Instructions Mechanical Installation of the Valve IMPORTANT: Hold valve with pipe wrench by hexagonal fitting ONLY. Do NOT handle the Valve body with the pipe wrench; product damage may result. Refer Dimension section on page 9 for more details on dimensions of Valve body and actuator. 1. Clean the lines upstream of particles larger than 1/16 in. diameter (welding slag, pipe scale and other contaminants) to properly flush the system. 2.

Preparing Actuator for mounting 1. Use a suitable plier to hold the clip of the Universal shaft adapter. 2. Pull out the Clip as shown in below figure to remove Universal shaft adapter. Now, the actuator is ready to assemble on 6-way control ball valve. Figure 5.

VB6 series 6-Way Control Ball Valves and Actuators - Installation Instructions Electrical Installation The most important part of the electrical installation is the power supply for the actuator. CAUTION To avoid personal injury (electrical shock) and to prevent equipment damage, before installation, you must remove power. 1. Unscrew the actuator wiring cover in order to access to the terminal block(s) as shown below. Figure 14. MN7510 (Floating Mode). Figure 12. Removable Access Cover 2.

VB6 series 6-Way Control Ball Valves and Actuators - Installation Instructions Use the above flow curve with given actuator control signal settings to configure 6-way valve for Sequence 1 (cooling), Sequence (2), and Off-position. Note that in Figure 13 it is shown how to override the actuator with a switch on wiring terminal 4 to go to the 50% position. This may also be used to rotate the valve to the zero (closed) position.
