Cv (Kvs) Inch (mm) Inch (mm) Stainless

The Flowrite VF 599 series three-way valves are designed to work with either a
pneumatic or electronic actuator. They are available in both ANSI Class 125 and 250.

• Valve flange face-to-face dimensions meet ISA 75.03 standards

• Direct coupled universal bonnet

• Choice of bronze or stainless steel trim

• ANSI Leakage Class IV (0.01% of Cv)

• Cartridge type packing

• Optional service flange available

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.

599-00418: Packing Heating Element:

Allows the stem to move freely in valves
that control fluids at temperatures below
32°F (0°C). Prevents ice crystal
formation on the stem, which may
damage the packing.
