Johnson Controls VG1245EP Valve

Engineered for high-performance HVAC applications, the Johnson Controls VG1245EP is a 2-way ball valve designed to provide precise equal percentage flow control. With a 1-1/2" NPT connection and an 18.7 Cv rating, this valve is an ideal upgrade for contractors replacing standard globe valves with a more reliable, high-rangeability solution. The forged brass body is paired with stainless steel trim, including a 300-series stainless ball and stem, allowing the unit to handle hot water, chilled water, and low-pressure steam up to 15 psig without the risk of premature corrosion. Utilizing a graphite-reinforced PTFE seat, the VG1245EP offers an ANSI Class IV leakage rating and a maintenance-free life expectancy exceeding 200,000 cycles. This valve is fully compatible with VA9104, M9106, and VA9203 series actuators, ensuring seamless integration into existing commercial control systems where close-off pressures up to 200 psid are required.

• Corrosion Resistance: 300 Series stainless steel trim ensures longevity when used with glycol solutions or saturated steam services.
• High Static Pressure: Rated for up to 580 psig static pressure (PN40), making it suitable for demanding mechanical room environments.
• Precise Control: Features a built-in characterizing disk to maintain a linear thermal output, outperforming standard full-port valves in proportional control loops.
• Heavy-Duty Seals: EPDM O-rings and graphite-reinforced PTFE seats provide superior wear resistance even in iron-oxide contaminated water systems.

Which actuators are compatible with the VG1245EP?
This valve is designed for use with Johnson Controls electric actuators including the VA9104 and M9109 (non-spring return) or the VA9203 and VA9208 (spring return) using the appropriate linkages.

What is the maximum media temperature for this model?
Thanks to the stainless steel trim, the VG1245EP can handle fluid temperatures ranging from 23°F up to 250°F (-5°C to 121°C).

Does this valve require specific orientation for steam service?
Yes. When installed in steam applications, the valve must be mounted with the stem in a horizontal position relative to the pipe to protect the actuator from heat transfer.
