Johnson Controls VG1245FT Valve
The Johnson Controls VG1245FT is a heavy-duty 2-inch NPT ball valve engineered for precision control in commercial HVAC systems. This two-way control valve features a high flow capacity of 73.7 Cv, making it ideal for high-volume chilled or hot water applications. The forged brass body is paired with stainless steel trim and a stainless steel ball, providing superior resistance to corrosion and scaling compared to standard brass internals. Designed with an equal percentage flow characteristic, the VG1245FT ensures linear heat output and stable temperature regulation even under varying pressure drops. This HVAC control valve is built to handle fluid temperatures ranging from 0°F to 212°F, ensuring reliability in diverse hydronic loops. The blowout-proof stem design and PTFE seats offer a bubble-tight shutoff, reducing energy waste and preventing bypass leakage. Whether you are performing a retrofit or a new installation, this NPT threaded ball valve provides the mechanical durability required for demanding building automation systems.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Enhanced Durability: The 300-series stainless steel trim and ball prevent premature wear in high-velocity water systems.
- Precise Throttling: Integrated Acurite flow characterization disks ensure accurate equal percentage flow for optimized coil performance.
- High Flow Efficiency: A 73.7 Cv rating allows for significant flow rates with minimal pressure drop across the valve body.
- Versatile Compatibility: Standard 2" NPT female connections allow for seamless integration with existing piping and Johnson Controls actuators.
- Leak Prevention: Dual EPDM O-rings and reinforced PTFE seats provide a reliable seal, maintaining system pressure integrity.
What is the maximum pressure rating for the VG1245FT?
This valve is rated for a static pressure of 580 psi, with a maximum close-off pressure designed to handle the demands of medium to large commercial hydronic systems.
Can this valve be used for steam applications?
The VG1245FT is specifically rated for water and glycol solutions up to 50% concentration. For high-pressure steam, a dedicated steam-rated globe or ball valve is required.
Which actuators are compatible with this 2-inch ball valve?
It is designed for use with Johnson Controls M9000 series non-spring return and spring return actuators, utilizing a standard mounting flange for quick field installation.
