VF Series High-Press ur e, High-Temperature Butterfly
Valves provide the highest quality and best value
available in the HVAC control industry. These valves
are recognized as a proven leader, with more than
25 years of successful service in process industries
worldwide. Their unique, patented design has received
Chemical Processing’s Valor Award for Best Product.
The simple, innovative design of these valves provides
rugged reliability and extremely easy maintenance in
the field. Independent and internal tests have proven
their superior service life capability, with bubble-tight
shutoff through over 100,000 cycles.
VF Series High-Pr ess ur e, High-Temperature Butterfly
Valves can be automated inexpensively with
pneumatic and electric actuators.
When compared to gate, globe, ball, and plug valves,
VF Series High-Press ur e, High-Temperature Butterfly
Valves are significantly smaller and lighter in weight;
therefore, installation time and maintenance costs are
greatly reduced.
All VF Series High-Pressure, High-Temperature
Butterfly Valves are available with a factory-assembled
and calibrated actuator, sized with a 25% safety factor
to provide years of trouble-free operation. The wide
variety of actuator choices include high-pressure
pneumatic rack and pinion-style actuators (both spring
return and non-spring return), and high-torque rotary
electric actuators which are fully compatible with
®
Metasys
controllers. The valve and actuator can be
provided in Normally Open (N.O.) or Normally
Closed (N.C.) combinations for pneumatic two-way
operation.
Stem
The one-piece stem is constructed of high strength
17-4 PH stainless steel. The output shaft of the stem is
extended to provide a direct connection of the actuator
to the valve.
Disc
The disc is constructed of 316 stainless steel, and is
engineered to maximize flow. The double offset design
of the stem reduces seat wear to significantly extend
cycle life. Bidirectional bubble-tight shutoff is assured
throughout the full pressure range.
Taper Pins
The taper pins are precision fit into drilled,
taper-reamed holes, providing a positive connection
and maximum strength between the valve disc and
stem.
Internal Travel Stop
An internal travel stop is designed to prevent
overtravel of the disc, minimizing possible seat
damage.
Valve Body
The ANSI Class 150 lug-style valve body is carbon
steel, and meets the pressure and temperature
requirements for ANSI B16.5, Class 150 pipe flanges.
The ANSI Class 300 lug-style valve body is carbon
steel, and meets the pressure and temperature
requirements for ANSI B16.5, Class 300 pipe flanges.

Adjustable Stem Packing
The stem packing system features easy access to
adjusting hex-head nuts wit hout re qu irin g removal of
the actuator. The stem consists of a gland ring, a
gland retainer, studs, hex-head nuts, and lock
washers. A slight 1/4 turn of the hex-head nuts is
usually all that is required should field adjustment ever
be needed. Both hex-head nuts must be evenly
adjusted, and not over tightened.
Figure 7: Adjustable Stem Packing System
Stem Seal
A positive seal is formed around the stem by the
constant compression and excellent corrosion
resistance of the stem seal. PTFE packing rings seal
the stem, and a carbon fiber anti-extrusion ring retains
the packing.
Seat Design
The unique, live-loaded seat consists of a resilient
silicone O-ring energizer that is fully encased by the
reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (RPTFE) seat. The
seat is locked into the valve body recess by a
full-faced seat retainer plate. This simple, reliable, and
proven combination provides many exclusive
advantages including:
•The O-ring energizer is completely isolated from
all contact with the line media by the RPTFE seat.
•Serrations in the seat retainer plate and body
recess secure the seat in place. The full-faced
retainer plate is bolted to the body, locking the
seat in the correct position. The seat is secured
even without the mating flange.
•The closely confined and well supported seat is
energized by the disc and line pressure. The
higher the pressure, the tighter the seal. In low
pressure applications, the energized seat offers
superior sealing and longer service life than many
other designs.
•Line media is sealed bubble-tight in both
directions.
•The live-loaded seat is self adjusting for wear and
temperature fluctuations.
•Seat replacement is extremely easy – just remove
the seat retainer plate, rotate the disc into the
closed position, and place a new seat in the
machined recess of the body. Performing this
procedure does not disturb the disc or stem.
All ANSI Class 150 and 2-1/2 through 12 in.
ANSI Class 300 valves feature one set of stem seal
packing rings and a stem locating plug with an O-ring
seal in the body base. The 14 in. ANSI Class 300
valves feature upper and base twin stem seals that
balance axial forces on the stem and disc under all
operating conditions.
Stem Bearings
Top and bottom bearings, consisting of a
316 stainless steel shell with a TFE/glass fabric liner
bearing surface, securely support the stem. The stem
bearings provide excellent resistance to corrosion and
distortion from high temperatures and mechanical
loading forces.

The double offset design of VF Series High-Pressure,
High-Temperature Butterfly Valves ensures reduced
seat wear and bidirectional bubble-tight shutoff
throughout the full pressure range.
At the point of initial disc opening, the offset disc
produces a cam-like action that rotates the disc away
from the seat with minimum drag. This
cam-like action reduces seat wear and eliminates seat
deformation when the disc is in the open position.
When the disc rotates beyond the point of initial
opening, the disc does not make contact with the seat.
This superior design extends the seat service life and
reduces the valve operating torque. As the valve
closes, the cam-like action converts the rotary motion
to effectively push the disc onto the seat. The wip ing
action of the disc against the seat prevents
undesirable material buildup from suspended solids.
The taper pins carry essentially equal loads while
anchoring the disc to the stem. This arrangement
permits accurate disc closure for consistent sealing
and positive shutoff.
For more than 25 years, the reliability of these butterfly
valves has been conclusively proven, both in lab tests
as well as thousands of field applications. In one test
of over 100,000 cycles at 720 psig (4,961 kPa) of
pressure, the seat remained in excellent condition and
continued to provide a bidirection al bub bl e-tight seal.
In another test of more than 878,000 cycles at 2 psig
(14 kPa) of pressure, the ANSI Class 150 valve
continued to seal bubble-tight in both directions.

Product Guidelines
Please be sure to read the following information
carefully before installing a VF Series High-Pressure,
High-Temperature Butterfly Valve Assembly:
•The valve is designed to be mounted between
ANSI flanges. When the valve is open, the disc
extends into the pipe on both sides of the valve
(further on the body side than the seat retainer
side). Piping must be large enough to allow the
disc to clear the pipe. In general, Class 150 valves
clear the Schedule 40 pipe, and Class 300 va lves
clear the Schedule 80 pipe adeq uat ely.
If heavier piping is required, chamfering or
recessing of the pipe inner diameter may be
necessary. Contact the local Bray representative
for more information.
•If the handle or actuator has been removed, do not
rotate the disc beyond the fully open or closed
position; doing so could cause damage to the
sealing surfaces. VF Series High-Pressure,
High-Temperature Butterfly Valves are equipped
with stops to prevent overclosure. The valve is
opened by turning counterclockwise and closed by
turning clockwise. The machined flats at the top of
the stem are parallel to the disc. For larger
diameter valves that use a keyway, the disc
follows the orientation of the key.
•For maximum service life, install the valve with the
seat retainer upstream. Positive shutoff is obtained
with the valve in either position; however,
installation with the seat retainer upstream
provides longer service life, especially in erosive
services.
•With the disc in the closed position, carefully
center the valve between the flanges. Tapped
holes match ANSI pipe flanges and assist in
positive alignment.
•The seat is sufficiently compressed by the seat
retainer, and additional force from flange bolting is
not required.
•Gaskets must conform to the requirements of
API Standard 601, Edition 3 for ANSI B16.5 class
flanges. Spiral wound gaskets are acceptable.

2. Maximum flow rates of water in U.S.G.P.M. (liters per second). The values listed are the maximum flow rates in
U.S.G.P.M. before dynamic torques must be considered to determine which torque is greater (seating/unseating or
dynamic). Water equivalent is used; for other fluids, divide the given flow rates by the square root of SG, where
SG = Specific Gravity. For water, SG = 1.

1. Refer to the appropriate actuator product bulletin for actuator specifications.
2. Type V and Z valves are rated for 150 psig (1,034 kPa) saturated steam at 366°F (186°C) for two-position applic atio ns,
and 50 psig (345 kPa) saturated steam at 297°F (147°C) for modulating applications. Refer to
VF Series High-Pressure, High-Temperature Butterfly Valves for Steam Service Application Note (LIT-977321)
for more information.
3. For 18 in. or larger ANSI Class 150 valves and 16 in. or larger ANSI Class 300 valves, consult the local
Johnson Controls office.
4. The preferred orientation of the seat retainer in dead-end service is against the flange.
5. For pressures between 550 and 740 psig (3,790 and 5,099 kPa), consult the local Johnson Controls office.
6. Published valve torque requirements are based on flow conditions that do not exceed the maximum flow rates found in
Table 23.
The performance specifications are nominal and conform to acceptable industry standards. For application at conditions beyond these
specifications, consult the local Johnson Controls office. Johnson Controls, Inc. shall not be liable for damages resulting from misappl ication or
