The 599 Series 2-way Ball Valves are coupled with OpenAir™ actuat ors to provide
equal percentage flow control. The ball valves are 1/4-turn rotary control valves and
are available in 1/2-inch to 2-inch line sizes.
· ANSI 250 valve body rating.
· 200 psi close-off with ANSI Cl ass IV leakage for all line sizes and actuators.
· Available with chrome-pl ated brass ball and brass stem or
stainless steel ball and stem.
· Blow-out proof stem withstands high pressure.
· Universal mounting plate.
· Actuator and plate can be rotated (90 degree increments).
· Standoffs provide a thermal barrier between the act uator and the m ounting
plate.
· Operating handle for manual operation.
Ball valves can control hot or chilled water and up t o 50% water-glycol solution i n
air handling units, convectors, fan coil units, unit conditioners, radiators, and reheat
coils.

Operation
Mounting and
Installation
The parabolic shape of the flow characterizer orifice (Figure 2) provides a slowly
opening valve. Equal movements of the valve stem, at any point of the flow range,
change the existing flow an equal percentage regardless of the existing flow. The ball
valve equal percentage flow characteristic (Figure 3) mirrors the flow characteristi c of a
coil, resulting in linear heat transfer.
Figure 2. Ball Valve Flow
Characterizer.
Figure 3. Ball Valve Equal Percen tage
Flow Control.
Install the valve so that the flow follows the
direction of t he arrow cast on the valve
body.
For added flexibility, the actuator mounting
plate can be installed in any of the four (4)
rotation angles relative to the valve body.
Service
For best performance, install the valve
assembly with the actuator above the
valve body.
The valve and actuator assembly can be
install ed i n a horizontal pipe in any position
between vertical and 90°.
The ball valve also can be installed
vertically.
Do not install the valve assembly
so that the actuator is below
horizontal or upsi de-down.
See Ball Valve Bracket KitInstallation Instructions 129-496
for complete and proper
installation and mounting
instructions.
Allow sufficient space for servicing the
valve and actuator. See Figure 6 and
Table 14 for valve body dimensions and
service envelope.
Replace the valve or actuator if inoperable.
