Johnson Controls VG1845FS Valve
The Johnson Controls VG1845FS Valve is an industrial-grade 2" 3-way ball valve designed for precision control in high-demand HVACR systems. Built with a forged brass body and stainless steel trim, this VG1000 Series valve is engineered to handle chilled water, hot water, and 50% glycol solutions, as well as low-pressure steam up to 15 psig. With a high 46.8 Cv rating and an equal percentage flow characteristic, it ensures linear heat output and stable capacity control across varying loads. The NPT threaded connection allows for seamless integration with VA9000 or M9000 series actuators, providing versatile mounting and reliable mixing or diverting performance. This valve features dual EPDM stem seals and graphite-reinforced PTFE seats to prevent leaks and sustain a high 200 psi close-off pressure, making it a rugged choice for commercial hydronic loops where durability and precise modulation are non-negotiable for site technicians.
Key Benefits- Enhanced Durability: The stainless steel ball and stem offer superior resistance to corrosion and wear compared to standard brass trim.
- Precise Modulation: Features an Amodel flow characterization disk to provide accurate equal percentage flow, eliminating the need for pipe reducers.
- High Pressure Performance: Rated for a static pressure of 580 psig and a maximum close-off pressure of 200 psid.
- Maintenance-Free Design: Designed with dual stem seals and reinforced seats to ensure a cycle life exceeding 200,000 operations without rebuilding.
- What actuators are compatible with the VG1845FS? This valve works with Johnson Controls VA9104, M9106, M9109, and M9100 series non-spring return actuators, as well as VA9203 and VA9208 spring return models.
- Can this 3-way valve be used for both mixing and diverting? Yes, the VG1845FS is designed for versatility in 3-way configurations, though port A must remain the inlet when using the flow-characterizing disk.
- Is the VG1845FS suitable for steam applications? Yes, because it features stainless steel trim, it is rated for saturated steam up to 15 psig when installed with the stem in a horizontal position.
