Johnson Controls V50AE-2 Valve

  • $2,315.00


The Johnson Controls V50AE-2 is a heavy-duty self-operated modulating valve engineered specifically for technical regulation in outdoor crop dryer gas manifolds. Designed for seamless natural gas and LP gas compatibility, this 1 1/4" NPT valve utilizes a vapor pressure sensing element to modulate gas flow in direct response to temperature fluctuations at the sensing bulb. With a calibrated 90-210 degree temperature range and an integrated temperature gage, technicians can achieve precise thermal setpoints essential for maintaining high-quality grain drying conditions without the need for external power sources.

Ruggedly constructed to withstand 30 PSIG maximum line working pressure, the V50AE-2 features high-temperature diaphragms optimized for liquid petroleum vapor withdrawal systems. This model is technically identical to the V50AE-2C, offering a modulating gas valve solution that ensures a fast, uniform response to air temperature changes. The assembly typically includes a style 1 or style 18 bulb with armored capillary protection to ensure long-term reliability in demanding agricultural environments. For installers, the "T" handle range screw provides an ergonomic interface for field-adjusting the throttle point, ensuring the crop dryer gas control remains within strict operating parameters.

  • Universal Fuel Compatibility: Fully rated for both natural gas and LP gas (vapor) applications in grain drying equipment.
  • Integrated Monitoring: Features a built-in temperature gage for real-time sensing bulb feedback and accurate calibration.
  • Mechanical Reliability: Self-contained modulating action requires no electrical hookup, reducing points of failure in the field.
  • High-Pressure Capability: Built to handle up to 30 PSIG line pressure, compatible with most standard regulated supply lines.
  • Field Adjustability: Includes five field-selectable bypass orifice fittings to maintain minimum flame requirements during low-demand cycles.
Common Questions for HVACR Contractors

Is the V50AE-2 compatible with liquid LP withdrawal?
No, this valve is designed for vapor withdrawal systems or liquid systems utilizing a dedicated vaporizer. It must not be used as an expansion valve for straight liquid LP.

Can I use this valve for indoor heating applications?
The V50 Series is strictly rated for outdoor crop dryer service only and should not be installed on indoor appliances or generic heating systems.

What is the difference between the V50AE-2 and V50AE-2C?
These units are functionally identical. The "C" suffix typically denotes a specific packaging or regional code but maintains the same 1 1/4" body and 90-210°F range.
