Applications

The VG1000 Series Ball Valves are designed to

regulate the flow of hot or chilled water (and for some

models, low pressure steam) in response to the

demand of a controller in Heating, Ventilating, and Air

Conditioning (HVAC) systems.

Installation

Install VG1000 Series Ball Valves with the actuator at

or above the centerline of the horizontal piping, as

shown in Figure 1.

To minimize heat transfer in steam applications, wrap

the valve and piping with insulation. Allow sufficient

clearance to remove the actuator (as illustrated in the

dimension drawings, Figure 6 through Figure 15).

When mounting the actuator in the field (before

installation), use an adjustable wrench to manually

rotate the valve stem several times. This rotation

breaks the torque that may have built up during

long-term storage.

For the valve to move in the proper direction, wire the

input lines to the electric actuator correctly.

IMPORTANT: Use the VG1000 Series Valves as an

operating control. Where failure or malfunction of the

VG1000 Series Valve could lead to personal injury

or property damage to the controlled equipment or

other property, additional precautions must be

designed into the system. Incorporate and maintain

other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems

or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or

protect against failure or malfunction of the VG1000

Series Valve.

IMPORTANT: In steam applications, install the

valve with the stem horizontal to the piping. Failure

to follow these guidelines may shorten the life of the

actuator.

Wiring Troubleshooting Be sure to wire the input lines to the electric actuator correctly for the valve to move in the proper direction. Servicing the Actuator or Piping System IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make all wiring connections in accordance with local, national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed the actuator’s electrical ratings. ! ! WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Disconnect the power supply before making electrical connections.
