Johnson Controls VA-7010-8001 Electric Actuator

The Johnson Controls VA-7010-8001 is a robust 24 VAC electric on/off actuator engineered specifically for terminal unit applications, including zone valves, fan coils, and VAV reheat coils. This synchronous stall motor actuator provides a reliable 20.2 lb (90 N) minimum force to manage flow in VG5000 series forged brass valves. Featuring a nominal 10-second stroke time on and a fast 5-second stroke time off, this unit ensures precise two-position control. The NEMA 1 enclosure (IP40 rated) and flat profile design allow for mounting in ultra-confined spaces with minimal side clearance. Contractors benefit from the manual lever for commissioning and emergency servicing, while the threaded coupling simplifies field installation. It comes pre-wired with 20-inch 18 AWG lead wires and can be rotated after mounting to optimize conduit positioning, making it a versatile choice for direct replacement or new system integration.

Key Benefits

• Compatible with VG5000 series valves and VG4000 series zone valves using a standard M28x1.5 threaded coupling.
• Integrated manual override lever allows for easy bypass and system testing without electrical power.
• Equipped with an AC stall type motor to prevent gear damage and ensure exceptionally quiet operation in residential or commercial zones.
• Compact flat profile design enables installation close to walls and within tight ceiling plenums.
• The actuator can be mounted after the valve body is piped, significantly reducing labor time and potential for damage during installation.

Common Questions

What valves are compatible with the VA-7010-8001?
This actuator is specifically designed for Johnson Controls VG5000 and VG4000 series forged brass zone valves. It uses a threaded coupling for direct mounting to the valve bonnet.

Can the actuator be installed in any orientation?
While the VA-7010-8001 can be rotated 360 degrees on the valve for wiring convenience, it is recommended to mount the valve assembly within 90 degrees of the upright position to prevent moisture from entering the motor.

Is this a spring return actuator?
No, this is a non-spring return, two-position actuator. It relies on the synchronous motor for the 10-second opening stroke and the internal valve spring for the 5-second closing stroke when power is removed.
