VBF5011, VBF5013 CONTROL BALL VALVES WITH FLANGED CONNECTIONS
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 only for use in cold, warm and hot water systems. Not suitable for oil, or combustible gases. For water application, they are designed for a medium temperature range from -22 to 250°F, at a maximum pressure of 360 psi for 2-1/2" & 3" valves and 240 psi for 4", 5", & 6" valves. The valves are to be operated with the appropriate Honeywell electronic actuators only. Water should be properly filtered, treated and conditioned according to local conditions and the recommendations of the boiler or chiller manufacturers. The installation of a strainers and filters is recommended.
IMPORTANT
The presence of excessive iron oxide (red rust) in the system voids the valve warranty.
Required Torque
Honeywell electronic actuators can be utilized with the VBF5011 and VBF5013 valves. See Table 4, which lists the torque requirement for each valve size. See Table 5, which lists the close-off pressure rating for the valves with the different torque actuators. Larger torque actuators may be used, but there is no increase in close-off pressure rating.
