Plus Actuator
Assembly

The Flowrite VF 599 Series ANSI Class 250 three-way valves are designed to work with
either a pneumatic or electronic actuator with a 3/4-inch (20 mm) stroke.

• ANSI Leakage Class IV (0.01% of Cv)

• Cartridge type packing

• Choice of brass or stainless steel trim

A typical application for the Flowrite three-way valve is the mixing of two different
temperatures of water supplies.

The valve can also be used for throttling or bypass coil control applications. A pump is
recommended on the coil circuit to improve the heat transfer characteristics of the coil
and for freeze protection.

See Table 1.
To order a complete valve plus actuator assembly from the factory, combine the

actuator prefix code with the suffix of the valve assembly product number. See Flowrite
Technical Bulletins 155-772 and 155-776 for complete selection procedure and ordering
codes.

Valve assemblies can be ordered using the valve part numbers in Table 1 and the
actuator prefix codes in Table 7.

599-00417 Packing heating element.

The heater allows the stem to move freely
in valves that control fluids at temperatures
below 32°F (0°C). It reduces ice crystal
formation on the stem that can damage the
packing.

Operating Voltage 24 Vac
Heating Output 20 W
