Printed in USA

Application

The VB6 6-Way Control Ball Valves regulates hot

and chilled water with glycol solutions up to 60%

in  heating,  ventilating,  and  air  conditioning

(HVAC) systems. 
These valves ship with a direct coupled actuator

factory installed for modulating control. The valve

is  designed  to  be  used  exclusively  with

MN7510A2001 actuator.

Application Notes

IMPORTANT:

 

Valve sizing is important for correct system 

operation. Undersized valves do not have suf

-

ficient capacity at maximum load. Oversized 

valves do not have sufficient authority over 

the load in modulating applications.

Oversized valves can cause excessive cycling 

and the seat and ball can be damaged because 

of the restricted opening.

Proper Use

These valves are intended for use in chilled water

and hot water closed loop applications only, with

a media temperature range of 0 ºF to +212 ºF  (18

ºC to 100 ºC), and static pressures up to 600 psi. 

These valves are to be operated with the Honey

-

well MN7510A2001 actuator only.
Water  should  be  properly  filtered,  treated  and

conditioned  for  good  operating  performance,

according to local conditions, and recommenda

-

tions  of  the  boiler  or  chiller  manufacturers.  The

installation  of  strainers  and  filters  is  recom

-

mended.

IMPORTANT:

 

The presence of excessive iron oxide (red rust) 

in the system voids the valve warranty.

Required Operating Torque

The VB6 series 6-way control ball valves are to be

operated  with  the  Honeywell  MN7510A2001

actuator only
These  valves  use  a  patented  seat  design  that

reduces the torque needed. The nominal required

operating torque is 88 lb-in.
