VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves Product Bulletin4
Application Overview
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.
VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves feature brass
and stainless steel trim, and are available in two-way
configurations with Push-Down-to-Close (PDTC)
(normally open if pneumatic or spring return) or
Push-Down-to-Open (PDTO) (normally closed if
pneumatic or spring return) with threaded (NPT), union
sweat, union globe, and union angle end connections.
The valve can be ordered with a variety of pneumatic
actuators: V-3000-8012 (exposed, with or without a
factory-mounted positioner), V-3000-8003 (enclosed),
V-38 01-8001 (oval top), and higher force MP8000
Series Actuators (with or without a factory-mounted
pneumatic positioner).
VG7000 Series Valves can also be ordered with any of
the following series electric actuators: VA-4233,
VA-7150, VA-7200, VA-8x2x, VA7810, VA7820, or
VA7830. All electric actuators are fully compatible with
Johnson Controls® controllers, reducing installation
costs. V alves without actu ators can be ordered with the
standard bonnet and threaded stem design, allowing
easy interchangeability of actuators with the use of
standardized mounting kits. See Table 2 through
Table 4 for ordering data and additional details. For
valid valve and actuator combinations, see Table 16
and Table 17.
The modulating valve plug of VG7000 Series Valves
provides an equal percentage flow characteristic for
two-way valves, and equal percentage or linear for
three-way valves. Tight shutoff is ensured using a
molded elastomeric disk in valves with brass trim, and
a precisely machined metal-to-metal seat for valves
with stainless steel trim. An arrow is cast on one side of
the valve body indicating the directio n of flow for proper
piping.
Pneumatic Actuator Selection
See Table 7, Table 9, Table 11, and Table 16.
Do not confuse the V-3000-8012, V-3000-8003, and
V-3801-8001 Pneumatic Actuators with the V-3000-1,
V-3000- 2, and V-3802-1 Pneumatic Actuators. Refer to
the V-3000-80 11 (Exposed) and V-3000-8003
interchangeability. The V-3801-8001 is not a direct
replacement for the V-3802-1 because V-3802-1 is not
compatible with VG7000 Series Valves.
V-3801-8001 Pneumatic Actuator
The V-3801-8001 is a low force, oval top actuator
designed specifically for 1/2 and 3/4 in. valves where
mounting space is restricted. The V-3801-8001 has
sufficient force to handle most seating pressures, and
the molded diaphragm design provides a constant
effective area (4 sq in.) throughout the valve stem
stroke. Due to the simplicity of the design, it is more
economical to replace the actuator than repair it. The
actuator assembly can be removed or repositioned by
loosening a single set screw without disturbing the rest
of the valve assembly.
Because the V-3801-8001 uses a unique slotted valve
stem for factory assembly (see the Stem Type section
in Table 2), the spring kits available are for field
mounting to standard threaded stem valves. See
Table 7 for mounting kit code numbers.
V-3000-8012 Pneumatic Actuator
The V-3000-8012 is a versatile, medium-force
pneumatic actuator that can be used in most HVAC
applications, including sequential control of valves. See
Table 9 and Table 11 for actuator sizing and selection.
The permanently captured, molded rolling diaphragm
of the V-3000-8012 provides a constant effective area
(8 sq in.) throughout the valve stem stroke. The
actuator assembly can be removed or repositioned by
loosening a single set screw without disturbing the rest
of the valve assembly.
The V-9502 Pneumatic Positioner is also available for
factory or field mounting to the V-3000-8012.
V-3000-8003 Pneumatic Actuator
The V-3000 -8003, operationally similar to the
V-3000-8012, is designed for enclosed installation in a
location where the actuator might be subjected to
tampering. The V -3000-8003 has a r eplaceable molded
diaphragm design.
VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves Product Bulletin5
MP8000 Series Pneumatic Actuators
The higher force MP82 (25 sq in. effective diaphragm
area) and MP84 (50 sq in. effective diaphragm area)
Pneumatic Actuators are used where higher maximum
closeoff pressures are required, such as 1-1/2 and 2 in.
brass trim valves and 1/2 through 2 in. stainless steel
trim valves.
These actuators are equipped with a molded synthetic
rubber diaphragm contained in a sturdy, carbon-steel
housing that protects it against dirt and damage. The
actuator can be easily removed to perform inline
servicing to all parts of the valve. The MP8000
Actuators are available factory mounted or are easily
field mounted to VG7000 Series Valves. See Table 7
for the appropriate mounting kit.
The MP8000 Actuators are designed to allow for
reversing the action of the actuators in the field. If
desired, the action of the MP8000 on Normally Open
(N.O.) valves can be reversed from spring-return-up to
spring-return-down or vice versa. To field reverse the
actuator, refer to the MP8000 Pneumatic Valve Actuators Technical Bulletin (LIT-977258).
The V-9502 Pneumatic Positio ner is also available for
factory or field mounting to MP8000 Series Pneumatic
Valve Actuators.
T-3000 Valve Top Thermostat Actuators
The T-3111 and T-3311 Series Valve Top Thermostat
Actuators are available for field mounting to all VG7000
Series Valves (N.O., N.C., and three-way). The valve
top thermostats are a combination of a pneumatic
thermostat and a pneumatic valve actuator. The T-311 1
and T-3311 are available in both direct an d reverse
acting models with various features and options. Refer
to the T-3111 Integral Thermostat a nd Piston Top V alve
Actuator Single Temperature, Single Pressure Product/
Technical Bulletin (LIT-7171137) and the T-3311
Integral Thermostat and Piston Top Valve Actuator
Dual Temperature, Dual Pressure Product/Technical
Bulletin (LIT-7171152) for specifications and ordering
information.
Note: A mounting kit is required to field mount T-3111
or T-3311 Valve Top Thermostats to a valve. See
Table 7 for the appropriate mounting kit code number.
Electric Actuator Selection
Factory-mounted electric actuators are available on
two-way PDTC and three-way mixing valve
configurations only. Actuators can be easily field
reversed if required. The actuators can be field
mounted on PDTO valves if desired. All proportional
electric actuator assemblies are factory calibrated for
nominal 0 to 10 VDC operation, to drive down with an
increase in signal. The VA-4233 and VA78x0 are
available on all valve styles: PDTO, PDTC, and threeway.
VA-4233 Series Electric Actuators
The VA-4233 Series Electric Actuators use a stepper
motor to accurately position the valve. In the event of a
power failure, a spring in the actuator automatically
returns the valve to the full stem-up position. These
direct-mount, spring return electric actuators provide a
minimum 61 lb force output for floating, on/off, or
proportional control, and can be factory mounted to
1/2 through 1-1/4 in. valve bodies with NPT (threaded)
and union sweat end connections.
Integral auxiliary switches are available for indicating
end stop position or to perform switching functions. On
proportional models, position feedback is also available
through a proportional DC voltage signal. All models
feature a hand crank for manual positioning of the
valve, independent of a power supply.
VA-7150 Series Electric Actuators
The VA-7150 Series Actuators use a reversible
synchronous motor and magnetic clutch to accurately
position the valve. This non-spring return actuator has
a 90 lb force output. The magnetic clutch maintains a
constant load at the end of travel, ensuring tight valve
shutoff and automatically compensating for seat wear.
This actuator is available in three models: floating
three-wire (VA-7150), floating with 0 to 2000 ohm
feedback (VA-7153), or 0 to 10 VDC proportional
control (VA-7152).
VA-7200 Series Electric Actuators
The VA-7200 Series Actuators use a reversible
synchronous motor and a magnetic clutch to accurately
position the valve. This non-spring return actuator has
a 180 lb force output. The magnetic clutch maintains a
constant load at the end of travel, which ensures tight
shutoff and automatically compensates for seat wear.
This actuator is available in three models: floating
three-wire (VA-7200), floating with 0 to 2000 ohm
feedback (VA-7203), or 0 to 10 VDC (0 to 20 mA)
proportional control (VA-7202).
VG7000 Series Bronze Control Valves Product Bulletin6
VA-8x2x Series Electric Actuators
The VA-8x2x Series Actuators are synchronous
motor-driven, force sensor limited, non-spring return
actuators that feature a 22 lb seating force in a
compact design. The VA-8020 accepts floating control
from a three-wire, 24 VAC control signal. The VA-8122
typically accepts proportional control from a 0 to
10 VDC control signal; however, it can be field adjusted
to accept signals up to 20 VDC. In addition, the
V A-81 22 features a n input signal re versing fe ature that
allows it to be used in both heating and cooling
applications.
Note: The VA-8x2x is only available factory mounted
on 1/2 and 3/4 in. valves. Because the VA-8x2x
requires a unique slotted valve stem for factory
assembly, it is necessary to select the S option in the
Stem Type section of Table 2.
VA7810 Series Electric Actuators
The VA7810 Series is a line of motor driven, direct
mount, non-spring return actuators that operate on
24 VAC and are available for use with on/off (floating)
or proportional controllers. The actuator is available
factory mounted to 1/2 through 2 in. valve body styles
with NPT (threaded) end connections. The actuator is
available separately for field mounting to union sweat,
union globe, and union angle VG7000 Series valves.
The actuator delivers a minimum stem force of 180 lb.
Integral auxiliary switches are available for indicating
end-stop position or to perform switching functions. For
proportional models a 0 (2) to 10 VDC signal feedback
is available.
VA7820/VA7830 Series Electric Actuators
The VA7820/VA7830 Series is a line of motor driven,
direct mount, spring return actuators that operate on
24 VAC. The actuators ship alread y set for 0 to 10 VDC
Proportional control. With a simple change of DIP
switch settings, the actuator can be reconfigured in the
field for On/Off (Floating) Control. Position feedback is
available via switches or a 0 (2) to 10 VDC signal. The
actuator delivers a minimum stem force of 180 lb. If the
power fails, the automatic spring returns the valve stem
up for the VA7820 actuator or the valve stem down for
the V A7830 actu ator. A manual override allows manual
positioning of the valve when power is not available.
The actuator is available factory mounted to 1/2
through 2 in. valves body styles with NPT (threaded)
end connections. The actuator is available separately
for field mounting to union sweat, union globe, and
union angle VG7000 Series valves.
