APPLICATION
The V5197A is a firing rate valve used to provide variable
flow control of air, natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP), and
manufactured gases. The V5197A is actuated by a firing rate
motor that can be mounted directly on the valve. The V5197A
is not applicable as a safety shutoff valve.

Firing Rate Gas Valve
PRODUCT DATA
FEATURES
• Used with air, natural, manufactured or liquefied
petroleum (LP) gases.
• For modulating applications that do not require final
shutoff service of firing rate valve.
• Two valve body types (small and large) applicable to
seven pipe sizes:
• Small body type for 3/4 in. (19 mm), 1 in. (25 mm),
1-1/4 in. (32 mm), 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) and 2 in. (51 mm)
pipes, NPT or ISO 7 threads.
• Large body type for 2 in. (51 mm), 2-1/2 in. (64 mm)
and 3 in. (76 mm) pipes, NPT or ISO 7 threads.
• Two downstream 1/4 in. NPT threaded pressure taps
available.
• Accepts C6097 Pressure Switch mounted directly to
flange (downstream pressure tap only).
• Unpainted cast aluminum body.
• Suitable for electric or pneumatic operators with the
appropriate linkage.
• May be used with manufacturers own linkage and
drive motor.
• Flow adjustment screw on bottom of valve controls
maximum flow.
• Visual position indicator.
The V5197A is specially designed to provide fine control
of gas flow in applications where a high turn down ratio is
required.
The maximum flow adjustment screw on the bottom of the
valve allows adjusting the maximum flow of gas through the
V5197 while maintaining the linear modulating characteristics
and stroke.
The V5197A is part of the Honeywell Integrated Valve Train
System that allows gas train components to be directly bolted
together.
