VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves
Installation Instructions
VG7000
Part No. 14-1078-6, Rev. E
Issued June 16, 2008
Supersedes August 12, 2002
Applications
VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves are primarily
designed to regulate the flow of water and steam in
response to the demand of a controller in Heating,
Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.
Contact the local Johnson Controls® representative for
compatibility concerns before using VG7000 Series
Bronze Control Valves to control the Technical
Specifications table at the end of this document.
The installation instructions included here conform to
the relevant and valid European Norm (EN) safety
standards, as well as the current laws and regulations
of the European Union. Qualified personnel are
required for the proper application of these installation
instructions. Qualified personnel are defined as people
conversant with installation, mounting, commissioning,
operation, and servicing of pneumatically and
electrically actuated VG7000 Series Bronze Contro l
Valves, through their activities and functions. Qualified
personnel include:
• trainers and instructors with an obligation to ensure
adherence to regional and international ordi nances
and requirements
• trainers and instructors of safety standards
• trainers and instructors of adequate facility safety
and protective operation
• trainers and instructors of first aid
Location of Valve Data
Each VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valve shipped
from the factory includes a brass tag chained to the
valve bonnet that features technical data about the
valve. The technical data on the tag includes:
•the code number of the valve
•the flow coefficient Cv of the valve
•the maximum allowable fluid temperature of the
controlled media
•the manufacturing date code of the valve (as
illustrated in Figure 1)

Installation
IMPORTANT: The VG7000 Series Bronze Control
Valves are intended to control saturated steam, hot
water, and chilled water flow under normal
equipment operating conditions. Where failure or
malfunction of the VG7000 Series 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 VG7000 Series Valve.
Pre-installation Details
Before installing a VG7000 Series Bronze Control
Valve, please note the following:
• Be sure to mount the valve in an upright position, in
a conveniently accessible location.
• Protect the electric actuator from dripping water
that could enter the actuator housing and damage
the mechanism or motor.
• Do not cover the actuator with insulating material.
• Allow sufficient clearance to remove the actuator
(refer to Figure 2 and Table 1 and Table 2).
• Pipe the valve with the flow in the direction of the
arrow on the valve body, so that the plug seats
against the flow.
• Wire all electrically actuated valve assemblies in
accordance with applicable electrical code
requirements. Input lines to the actuator must be
wired correctly for the valve to move in the proper
direction.

IMPORTANT: Take care to prevent foreign materi al
such as weld slag, thread burrs, metal chips, and
scale from entering the piping system. This debris
can damage or severely impede the operatio n 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, subsequent
flushing and filtering of the piping system with the
valve installed does not remedy the problem.

Repair Information
If the VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valve fails to
operate within its specifications, refer to the VG7000
Series Bronze Control Valves Product Bulletin
(LIT-977140) for a list of repair parts and re conditioning
kits available. For a replacement valve, contact the
nearest Johnson Controls® representative.
Pre-Servicing Details
Before servicing a VG7000 Series Bronze Control
Valve, please isolate or disconnect the pneumatic
supply or electrical power to the actuator and note the
following:
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect each of multiple power
!
supplies before making electrical
connections. More than one disconnect
may be required to completely deenergize equipment. Contact with
components carrying hazardous voltage
can cause electric shock and may result
in severe personal injury or death.
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.
WARNING: Risk of Personal Injury.
Shut off the liquid supply and relieve
pressure in the line before servicing the
valve. Contents of liquid lines could be
under pressure and the release of liquid
under pressure may cause severe
personal injury.
Valve Removal Details
In addition to observing general mounting guidelines
and National Code Standards, be sure to note the
following before removing a valve from a piping
system:
• Allow hot water or steam systems to cool down
thoroughly before proceeding.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in
accordance with local, national, and regional
regulations. Do not exceed the electrical ratings of
the VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valve.
• Drain the piping system to provide a pressure-free
work environment.
• Vent al l piping systems that are used in conjunction
with corrosive or aggressive fluids.
• Be sure all work is performed by qualified
personnel only.
