V246GS1-001C Johnson Controls Water Valve

Overview

The Johnson Controls V246GS1-001C is a commercial-grade, direct-acting, pressure-actuated water-regulating valve designed to control water flow in HVAC and refrigeration systems with water-cooled condensers. It modulates water flow through the condenser in response to refrigerant head pressure, maintaining optimal system efficiency and protecting compressors from high-pressure faults.

Features

• Pressure-balanced design resists changes to setpoints caused by sudden water pressure fluctuations
• No close-fitting or sliding parts in water passages for robust control in less than ideal conditions
• Take-apart construction allows access to the interior without removing the valve from the system
• Accessible range spring enables easy manual flushing
• Commercial-type cast iron body with a rust-resisting finish provides heavy-duty durability

Specifications

• Valve Size: 2 inches
• Connection Type: ASME four-hole flange
• Body Material: Cast iron
• Valve Type: Two-way, direct-acting, water-regulating
• Opening Point Pressure Range: 200 to 400 PSI (13.8 to 27.6 bar)
• Pressure Fitting: 1/4 inch male/external flare (Style 5)
• Maximum Allowable Water Pressure: 150 psi (10.3 bar)
• Minimum Fluid Temperature: -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius)

Applications

The V246GS1-001C is used in commercial and industrial refrigeration and HVAC systems utilizing high-pressure refrigerants (such as R-410A). It regulates condenser water flow to manage refrigerant head pressure in water-cooled systems. Note: Due to its copper alloy internal construction, it is not suitable for drinking water applications.
