Johnson Controls V11HCA-100 Valve
The Johnson Controls V11HCA-100 is an industrial-grade 3-port solenoid air valve tailored for precise control in pneumatic building automation systems. Engineered for high-demand BAS applications, this 208V solenoid valve manages the operation of dampers and other pneumatic devices by converting electrical signals into mechanical air redirection. It functions as a direct drop-in for AL-120 and AL-192 cross-references, ensuring legacy system support without extensive reconfiguration. The valve body is constructed from die-cast aluminum with a No. 60 mesh monel screen to protect internal components from particulate matter. With a 2592 scim capacity and a 0 to 20 psig operating range, the V11HCA-100 provides a positive air seal and a versatile footprint that permits mounting in any orientation.
Key Benefits for Contractors- Universal Mounting: The compact and lightweight design allows for 360-degree installation, fitting easily into tight enclosures or directly onto conduit.
- Direct Cross-Reference: Specifically designed to replace AL-120 and AL-192 pneumatic valves, reducing diagnostic and sourcing time for older installations.
- Enhanced Reliability: Features an integrated monel screen to prevent debris entry, maintaining a positive air seal and consistent 1.5 CFM air consumption.
- Simple Connections: Equipped with dual 1/4-inch barb fittings for common and normally closed ports, plus a 1/8-inch NPT normally open port for standardized pneumatic tubing.
How do you configure the V11HCA-100 for reverse action?
To achieve reverse action with this 3-way air valve, professional technicians should connect the supply air to the normally open (1/8" NPT) port and utilize the normally closed port for exhaust. This redirects flow logic based on the 208Vac solenoid coil's state.
Can this valve be tested manually before final wiring?
Certain models in the V11 series support manual operation. For the Johnson Controls V11HCA-100, checkout and testing can often be performed using a manual opener key to verify the air path through the common and barbed 1/4-inch connections before the 18-inch leads are permanently spliced.
What are the power requirements for this pneumatic solenoid?
This specific unit operates on 208V AC (50/60 Hz) and consumes 6 watts. It is essential to verify supply voltage against the data plate to ensure compatibility with your BAS controller or smoke damper application.
