V246GM1-001C Johnson Controls Water Valve

Overview

The Johnson Controls V246GM1-001C is a commercial-grade, two-way direct-acting pressure-actuated water-regulating valve designed for high-pressure refrigerant systems. It automatically modulates water flow to control refrigerant head pressure in systems with water-cooled condensers, operating entirely without external power.

Features

• Direct-acting pressure actuation requires no external power source
• Pressure-balanced design resists setpoint changes caused by water pressure fluctuations
• Take-apart construction allows internal access without removing the valve or pumping down the system
• Accessible range spring permits easy manual flushing
• Corrosion-resistant internal parts promote a long valve lifespan

Specifications

• Connection Type: 1-1/4 inch Union Sweat
• Opening Point Range: 200 to 400 psi (field-adjustable)
• Maximum Sensing Element Pressure: 630 psi
• Maximum Water Pressure: 150 psi
• Maximum Water Temperature: 170 deg F (77 deg C)
• Pressure Element Style: Style 5 with 1/4 inch external flare fitting
• Body Material: Cast iron

Applications

Ideal for commercial refrigeration systems, water-cooled condensers, and HVAC equipment using high-pressure, non-corrosive refrigerants like R410A. It automatically regulates condenser water flow to protect compressors and optimize efficiency.
