Siemens Combustion VKG10.065U Valve
The Siemens VKG10.065U is a 2.5 inch full port butterfly valve engineered for precision application in industrial combustion system gas flow control. Designed to regulate the flow of natural gas, propane, butane, and air, this industrial butterfly valve features a robust stainless steel disc and a high-performance Viton seat to ensure leak-proof operational integrity and significant corrosion resistance. Utilizing a full port gas control valve design, it minimizes line pressure drop while maintaining a maximum differential pressure of 25 PSID and a surge rating of 75 PSIG. The precision-machined 10 mm shaft is supported by internal bearings for repeatable performance under modulating or on/off service. This Siemens butterfly control valve is compatible with standard 2.5" NPT threaded piping and is optimized for use with Siemens actuators, such as the SQM series, or manual adjustment kits. Ideal for contractors requiring a reliable alternative to Eclipse 10BV-A units, it operates effectively within a temperature range of -40 to 160°F.
Key Benefits
- Full Port Efficiency: Maximizes volumetric flow rates and reduces pressure loss in 2-1/2" NPT gas lines.
- Durable Construction: Features a corrosion-resistant aluminum body with a stainless steel disc and specialized Viton seats for multi-fuel compatibility.
- Actuator Ready: Direct-mount capability for Siemens rotary actuators or manual adjustment handles via a precision 10 mm shaft.
- Repeatable Performance: Integrated bearings prevent shaft deflection, ensuring consistent positioning for critical burner air/gas ratios.
- Clear Feedback: Includes a laser-etched, anodized dial for immediate visual confirmation of valve position between 0 and 90 degrees.
Common Questions
Is the VKG10.065U rated for safety shut-off service?
No, this butterfly valve is strictly for flow control and modulation. A dedicated safety shut-off valve must be installed upstream to meet NFPA safety requirements.
Which fuel types are compatible with this valve?
This unit is designed for natural gas, propane, butane, and combustion air. The Viton seat ensures a reliable seal with these common industrial gases.
Can I use this valve for high-temperature steam applications?
No, this valve is rated for a maximum fluid temperature of 160°F and is not suitable for steam or superheated water systems.
