Johnson Controls VG7243RT Valve

The Johnson Controls VG7243RT is a robust 1 1/2 inch two-way normally open globe valve engineered specifically for high-accuracy control of hot water, chilled water, or saturated steam up to 38 psig. Built with a cast bronze body and stainless steel trim, this VG7000 Series valve is designed to withstand the rigors of commercial HVAC settings while maintaining a high 28.9 Cv rating. The equal percentage flow characteristic ensures stable modulation and precise heat transfer across a wide range of load conditions. Featuring NPT threaded connections and a standard threaded stem, this valve is easily integrated with various pneumatic or electric actuators. The push-down-to-close action provides reliable shutoff and fail-safe performance when paired with the appropriate spring-return actuator. This unit is the professional choice for contractors requiring ANSI Class 250 pressure-rated components that offer long-term durability and simplified field serviceability.

• Stainless Steel Trim: High-grade internal components extend service life and improve resistance to corrosive architectural water treatments.
• Equal Percentage Curve: Provides superior control stability at low flow rates, preventing hunting in building automation systems.
• Standard 1.5" NPT Ports: Facilitates rapid installation into existing 1 1/2 inch piping without the need for specialized adapters.
• ANSI Class 250 Rating: Heavy-duty bronze construction handles high static pressures common in multi-story HVAC distributions.
• Broad Compatibility: Supports a wide range of Johnson Controls actuators, allowing for flexible field assembly and easier maintenance.

What is the maximum fluid temperature for this valve?
The VG7000 Series with stainless steel trim is typically rated for water temperatures up to 338°F and saturated steam at 38 psig, though always verify specific actuator heat-shield requirements for high-temperature applications.

Is this valve suitable for glycol-based systems?
Yes, the bronze body and stainless steel trim are compatible with 50/50 water-glycol solutions commonly used in chilled water and heat recovery loops.

How do I change the flow direction?
This is a unidirectional 2-way globe valve. Ensure the flow follows the direction of the arrow cast on the valve body to maintain the equal percentage flow characteristic and prevent water hammer.
