Control Ball Valve

VBF3

The VBF3 Three-Way Ball Valve Assemblies, with and without actuators, control hot and chilled water with glycol solutions up to 50% in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to provide two-position or modulating functions. These valve assemblies can be ordered with or without factory-mounted non-spring return or spring return direct-coupled actuators (DCA).
