Johnson Controls VG1245AN Valve
The Johnson Controls VG1245AN is a high-performance 1/2 inch NPT ball valve engineered for precise control in HVACR systems. As part of the VG1000 Series, this valve features a forged brass body and stainless steel trim, making it ideal for managing hot water, chilled water, and 50% glycol solutions. With a 11.7 Cv rating and an equal percentage flow characteristic provided by its characterized insert, it ensures stable temperature regulation across varying load conditions. Designed for longevity, this two-way ball valve utilizes graphite-reinforced PTFE seats and EPDM double O-ring stem seals, delivering a life expectancy of 200,000 cycles. It supports a close-off pressure of 200 psid and a maximum fluid temperature of 284?F with compatible actuators, ensuring reliable hydronic control and building automation performance in demanding commercial environments.
Key Benefits- Precision Flow Control: The equal percentage flow design prevents hunting and provides stable control at low loads.
- Durable Construction: Stainless steel ball and stem significantly increase resistance to corrosion and wear compared to brass alternatives.
- High Pressure Performance: Rated for a 580 psi static pressure and 200 psi close-off, ensuring system integrity under high head conditions.
- Leak-Free Operation: Dual EPDM O-rings and reinforced PTFE seats provide ANSI Class IV leakage protection through 200,000 cycles.
- Universal Compatibility: Standard 1/2" NPT connections and a blowout-proof stem facilitate easy integration with varied actuator linkages.
Is the VG1245AN compatible with steam applications?
Yes, because this model features stainless steel trim, it is rated for low-pressure steam up to 15 psig. Always verify your specific actuator's temperature limits before installation.
What actuators fit this valve body?
This valve is designed for use with Johnson Controls VA9104, M9106, M9109, and Spring Return M9203 or M9208 series actuators using the appropriate M9000-520 linkage.
Can this valve be used for chemical processing?
The VG1245AN is specifically optimized for HVAC systems utilizing water and glycol. For highly corrosive chemical media, technical consultation is required to confirm material compatibility.
