VG1000 Series
Valves with Non-Spring-Return Electric Actuator
Description
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
HVAC systems. Available in sizes 1/2 through
2 in. (DN15 through DN50), this family of
two- and three-way forged brass valves is
factory or field mounted to Johnson Controls®
VA9104, M9106, M9109, and M9100 Series
Non-Spring-Return and VA9203 and VA9208
Series Spring-Return Electric Actuators for
on/off, floating, or proportional control.
Refer to the VG1000 Series Forged Brass Ball Valves Product Bulletin (LIT-977132) for
important product application information.

1. To avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor for the AGA models, use a controller or software that provides a timeout function to remove the signal at the
end of rotation (stall).
• 500:1 Rangeability — provides accurate
control under all load conditions.
• Chrome-Plated Brass Ball and Stem
Assembly Standard — handles both chilled
and hot water applications with a fluid
temperature range of 23 to 203°F
(-5to95°C).
Repair Information
If the VG1000 Series Ball Valve fails to
operate within its specifications, replace the
valve body, actuator, or entire assembly. For
replacement parts, contact the nearest
Johnson Controls representative.
