V43/V243 Series Pressure-Actuated Water-Regulating Valves
Description
The V43/V243 Pressure Actuated Water
Regulating Valves are designed to regulate
water flow through the condenser of large
refrigerated cooling systems. These
pilot-operated valves open on an increase in
refrigerant head pressure and provide
modulating operation.
The V43/V243 water regulating valves are
available for commercial and maritime
applications.
V43 valves are available for non-corrosive
low- and medium-pressure refrigerants such
as R-134A, R-404A, R-502, and R-507.
Specially designed V43 valves are also
available for ammonia service (R-717).
V243 valves are available for non-corrosive
high-pressure refrigerants such as R410A.
Commercial V43/V243 valves are
constructed with a cast iron body, brass
internal parts, and bronze seat material.

To resist the corrosive action of sea water, the
V43/V243 maritime and navy models are
constructed with a red brass body, bronze
and monel interior parts, and monel seat
material.

information.
Features
• built-in pilot valve allows more precise
throttling
• easy adjustment allows service and
adjustment without breaking line
connections
• drain plug allows water to be drained
during shutdown to reduce the possibility
of freeze-up
• mesh monel screen protects pilot valve
from items such as dirt and scale and is
easily removed for cleaning and servicing
without breaking any line connections

Selection Charts
When ordering V43 valves, specify the
complete product code number including an
optional companion flange and gasket kit. A
companion flange and gasket kit is required to
mount the water lines to commercial type
V43/V243 water-regulating valves.
