Issued October 2016

Applications

The VG1000 Series Flanged Ball Valves are designed
to regulate hot and chilled water , 50/50 glycol solutions,
and 25 psig steam in HVAC systems.

IMPORTANT: The VG1000 Series Flanged Ball
Valve is intended to control saturated steam, hot
water, and chilled water flow under normal operating
conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the ball
valve could lead to personal injury or property
damage to the controlled equipment or other
property, additional precautions must be designed
into the control system. Incorporate and maintain
other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems
or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or
protect against failure or malfunction of the ball
valve.

IMPORTANT: Le VG1000 Series Flanged Ball Valve
est destiné à réguler un débit saturated steam, hot
water, and chilled water dans des conditions
normales de fonctionnement. Lorsqu'une défaillance
ou un dysfonctionnement du ball valve risque de
provoquer des blessures ou d'endommager
l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre équipement, la
conception du système de contrôle doit intégrer des
dispositifs de protection supplémentaires. Veiller
dans ce cas à intégrer de façon permanente
d'autres dispositifs, tels que des systèmes de
supervision ou d'alarme, ou des dispositifs de
sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une fonction
d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de
défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du ball valve.

To minimize heat transfer in steam applications, wrap
the valve and piping with insulation. Allow at least 4 in.
(102 mm) of clearance from the top of the shaft to
remove the actuator (as noted in Table 1).

When mounting the actuator in the field and before
installing the actuator, use an adjustable wrench to
manually rotate the valve stem several times. This
rotation breaks the torque th at may have built up during
long-term storage.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to manually rotate the
drive shaft while the actuator is installed without fir st
releasing the actuator gears. Manually rotating the
drive shaft without releasing the actuator gears may
result in permanent damage to the actuator.

IMPORTANT: Take care to prevent foreign material
such as weld slag, thread burrs, metal chips, and
scale from entering the piping system. This de br is
can damage or severely impede the operation of the
valve by embedding itself in the seats, scoring the
valve, and ultimately resulting in seat leakage. If the
debris becomes embedded in the seats, subseque nt
flushing and filtering of the piping system with the
valve installed does not remedy the problem.

For detailed installation information about using
specific equipment, refer to the appropriate
documentation from the following list.

Non-Spring Return Actuators Installation
Instructions (Part No. 34-636-399)

Installation

Install the VG1000 Series Flanged Ball Valves with the
actuator at or above the centerline of the horizontal
piping, as shown in Figure 1.

IMPORTANT: In steam applications, install the
valve with the stem horizontal to the piping. Failure
to follow these guidelines may shorten the life of the
actuator.

Location Considerations

IMPORTANT: Protect the actuator from dripping
water, condensation, and other moisture. Water or
moisture could result in an electrical short, which
may damage or affect the operation of the actuator.

Piping

Be sure to wire the input lines to the electric actuator
correctly for the valve to move in the proper direction.
See Figure 10 for typical two- and three-way piping
configurations.

IMPORTANT: Use copper conductors only. Make

IMPORTANT: Do not cover the actuator with

thermal insulating material. High ambient
temperatures may damage the actuator, and a hot

national, and regional regulations. Do not exceed

overheat it.

Note: Mount the valve downstream from the coil to minimize heat transfer to the actuator.

Port A has the flow characterizing disk. Connect Port A
to the outlet from the coil. On three-way models, use
Port B as the bypass port.

Two-way VG1000 Series Ball Valves are fully open
when the electric actuator is fully counterclockwise
(CCW) and fully closed when the electric actuator is
fully clockwise (CW).

For three-way valves, the Coil Port A and Common
Port AB are fully open when the electric actuator is fully
CCW, as shown in Figur e 11. The Bypass Port B and
Common Port AB are fully open when the actuator is
fully CW, as shown in Figure 12.

For spring-to-close proportional control models in the
DA mode, a minimum control signal drives the electric
actuator to the fully CW position, while a maximum
control signal drives the electric actuator to the fully
CCW position.

T roubleshooting

Servicing the Actuator or Piping System

When servicing the electric actuator or the piping
system:

• disconnect the power supply to the actuator

WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.

Disconnect or isolate all power supplies
before making electrical connections. More
than one disconnection or isolation may be
required to completely de-energize
equipment. Contact with components
carrying hazardous voltage can cause
electric shock and may result in severe
personal injury or death.

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque de décharge
électrique.

Débrancher ou isoler toute alimentation
avant de réaliser un raccordement
électrique. Plusieurs isolations et
débranchements sont peut-être nécessa ires
pour -couper entièrement l'alimentation de
l'équipement. Tout contact avec des
composants porteurs de tensions
dangereuses risque d'entraîner une
décharge électrique et de provoquer des
blessures graves, voire mortelles.

For non-spring return and spring-to-open proportional
control models in the Direct Acting (DA) mode, a
minimum control signal drives the electric actuator to
the fully CCW position while a maximum control signal
drives the electric actuator in the fully CW position.

VG1000 Series Flanged Ball Valves Installation Instructions

• relieve the pressure in the piping system

CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.

Do not apply power to the system before
checking all wiring connections. Short
circuited or improperly connected wires may
result in permanent damage to the
equipment.

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de dégâts
matériels.

Ne pas mettre le système sous tension
avant d'avoir vérifié tous les raccords de
câblage. Des fils formant un court-circuit ou
connectés de façon incorrecte risquent
d'endommager irrémédiablement
l'équipement.
