VBB/VBS Series Ball Valves and SmartX
Actuators deliver results you can count on
It’s not easy to be a building owner today. Energy legislation and
conservation initiatives are everywhere. To meet these pressing
environmental challenges, building owners need efficient, reliable
and cost-effective ways to control the performance of their
buildings. What can a building owner do to manage in this
rapidly changing environment?
Clearly, there are no “silver bullet, one-size-fits-all” solutions to improving building
performance. The answer is to find individual solutions that work together and
allow the whole building to perform better. Schneider Electric can help you
improve the overall performance of your building with innovative products and
solutions that deliver measurable results – year after year.

Schneid er Electric’s
comprehensive HVAC
Control prod uct portfolio
is proven in thou sands of
installations worldwide.
These powe rful and
reliable devi ces make
building management
systems op erate more
effici ently, save energy and
provide optimal comfort
for occupants.
The VBB/VBS series of ball valves and SmartX actuators are a revolutionary
line of products that can help you solve these problems quickly and easily.
Designed with intelligence, efficiency and a high degree of interchangeability,
these valves and actuators are simple to operate and offer some exclusive
industry firsts.
Engineered as a complete ball valve assembly, the VBB/VBS series of valves and
SmartX actuators are designed to be interchangeable and easily configured in the
field. With the VBB/VBS series, you will always be assured of valve and actuator
compatibility. The VBB/VBS valve and actuator family is a powerful combination
that brings together the best of both worlds; a unique, low force valve design and
the world renowned, patented PopTop actuator. The result is a system that is
energy efficient, highly reliable and easy to maintain.
It’s never been easier to have a simple and cost effective valve and actuator
system. And because the VBB/VBS family of valves and actuators are from
Schneider Electric, you can be sure these products come backed by
superior customer service and support – maximizing your investment now
and in the future.

Easy to install, easy to configure and easy to maintain
As assemblies the SmartX Actuators and VBB/VBS Series Ball Valves give you the freedom and flexibility to easily optimize and precisely control a wide variety of applications.
Interchangeable valves and actuators make it simple to implement future upgrades and
accommodate building system changes.
Many assembly configurations
The VBB/VBS Series consists of direct-coupled
2-position, floating or proportional spring return; and
floating or proportional non-spring return SmartX
Actuators. All can be mounted on 2-way or 3-way
VBB/VBS valve bodies. They accept control signals
from a DDC system, controller or thermostat for
control of hot or chilled water and solutions of up to
60% glycol.
With Cv’s up to 10, these assemblies are the right
choice for most applications including VAV reheat,
fan coil units, hot and chilled water coils in air
handling units, heat pumps and unit ventilators
where higher close-off pressures are required. The
valves are available in ½" or ¾" (15 mm or 20 mm)
sizes and either chrome plated brass ball with nickel
plated stems or stainless steel ball with stainless
steel stems. Also available, are actuators that
include 10' (3.05 m) plenum rated cable and conduit
connectors to accommodate the specific wiring
requirements of all projects.
Easy to install
These assemblies are easy to install, configure and
operate. The compact, low clearance design is
typically half the size of the valve assemblies they
replace, making these assemblies ideal for confined
areas, which are common in many HVAC environ-
ments. Only 1" (25 mm) of clearance is needed to
remove the actuator. The over-sized wrench flat
design is contractor friendly; keeping threads and
flats from deforming during installation and common
job site abuse.
Easy to configure
No complex or costly programming tool is required
to configure these valve assemblies. Proportional
models can be configured for the desired input
control signal in the field. Simply remove the cover
and move a jumper from the 0-10 Vdc to either
0-5 Vdc, 5-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA. Multiple input
signal options in a single actuator make product
selection easy and flexible.

Easy to maintain
The patented PopTopTM actuator design makes it
easy for installers to engage or detach the actua-
tor from the valve body using the one-handed push
lever. No tools are necessary for installation; this
allows for easy servicing in hard to reach spaces.
300:1 Rangeability for more precise control
Higher rangeability enables all VBB/VBS valves to
more precisely regulate flow, particularly from a
closed position through the lower portion of the flow
curve where precise control is most critical. Higher
rangeability provides greater temperature control,
ultimately delivering superior performance and value.

Less leakage, more savings
The VBB/VBS Series offer the industry the best seat
leakage rating, ANSI IV rated (0.01%) for both A
and B ports. Building owners and installers know
that if you don’t have control at close off, you don’t
have control. More importantly, leakage is loss of
energy. The tight seal design in these new valves
means less leakage through the valve. This com-
bined with modulating control, assures maximum
control, increased energy efficiency and overall
operational savings.
100% Inspected and water tested
All VBB/VBS Ball Valves are inspected and water
tested under pressure for proper operation. From the
start, installers and customers are assured of more
trouble free performance.
PTFE seal s allow for
lower fricti on and higher
temperature resistance.
With the addit ion of wave
springs , the PTFE seals
continually a djust for wear
and contamination.

SmartX Actuators and VBB/VBS Ball Valves
together as assemblies give you freedom
and flexibility
With all these benefits, it’s easy to understand why choosing a SmartX Actuator ball valve
assembly makes perfect sense. These ball valve assemblies give you the freedom
and flexibility to easily optimize and precisely control a wide variety of applications in
HVAC building management systems. Interchangeable valves and actuators make it
simple to implement future upgrades and accommodate building system changes.
SmartX Actuators are all about the choices you have, to create the right combination
for your needs – now and in the future.
