VBN Threaded Control Ball Valves
and Actuators
APPLICATION
The VBN2 2-Way Control Ball Valves and VBN3 3-Way
Control Ball Valves control hot and chilled water with glycol
solutions up to 50% in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
(HVAC) systems to provide two-position or modulating
functions. These control ball valves can be ordered alone or
with spring return or non-spring return actuators.
VBN2, VBN3
FEATURES
Sizes from 1/2 to 3 in. with internal (female) NPT
connections.
Equal percentage flow characteristic.
Reduced B port C
V
for constant loop flow.
Choice of factory-installed actuation: floating,
modulating (2-10 V), spring return or non-spring return
2-Position, Spring Return Modulating/Floating.
Field configurable for normally open or normally
closed fail-safe position.
Removable manual operating handle to control valve
during installation or in an event of power failure.
Actuator can be mounted on the valve in any of four
orientations.
Field-serviceable stem assembly.
Wide range of C
V
choices from 0.33 to 266.
Nickel-chrome plated brass or 316 stainless steel ball
and stem.
Valve installs in a globe valve “T” pattern, no extra
elbows or piping required.
Mixing or Diverting control for 3-way valves.
ANSI Class IV seat leakage specification (0.01% of C
V
)
for 3-way A port and ANSI Class III seat leakage
specification (0.1% of C
V
) for 3-way B port.
