599 Series
2- Way Ball Valves
Document No. 155-703P25
VF 599-9
February 4, 2016
Description
Features
Application
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.
