VG2000 Series Cast Iron Flanged Globe Valves
VG2000 Series Cast Iron Flanged Globe Valves are
designed primarily to regulate the flow of water and
steam in response to the demand of a controller in
Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
systems. Available in sizes 2-1/2 through 6 in., these
ANSI Class 125 valves are available in Normally Open
(N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.), and three-way mixing
configurations. Both electric and pneumatic actuators
are available for factory or field mounting.
