VGF FLANGED GLOBE VALVES
63-2618—01

CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect power supply to the actuator to prevent
electrical shock and equipment damage, or
remove and cap the air line to the actuator.
IMPORTANT
• Before installing the valve, raise and lower the
valve stem to make sure that the valve stem oper-
ates freely. Impaired stem operation can indicate
that the stem was bent by rough handling. This
condition can require replacing the valve.
• Protect the stem from damage due to bending or
scratching.
NOTES:
• Some non-pressure balanced valves have stem travel
greater than the published 3/4 in. (20 mm) or 1-1/2 in.
(38 mm) control stroke. This is due to use of bodies
shared with pressure-balanced models.
• The first 3/4 inch (20mm) of the stroke is the control
stroke of the 2-1/2 and 3 inch valves.
• The first 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) of stroke is the control
stroke of the 4 to 6 inch valves.
Safety
The valves are to be installed by skilled personnel and in
strict accordance with the installation instructions and
local regulations. (See Fig. 8 for proper hoisting method.)
Honeywell assumes no responsibility for damages or
injuries resulting from non-compliance with installation
instructions or standard good practice when mounting,
operating, or maintaining the valves, even if not explicitly
mentioned in the installation instructions. (See Fig. 10 for
basic pipe orientation.) Observe all safety practices when
working with steam systems.
Proper Use
These valves are only for use in cold, warm, hot water
systems and for steam applications. They are designed for
the medium temperature ranges listed in the
specifications. They are to be operated with the
appropriate Honeywell actuators only. Water should be
properly filtered, treated and conditioned according to
local conditions. The installation of a strainer is strongly
recommended.
IMPORTANT
The presence of iron oxide (red rust) in the system
voids the valve warranty. The use of rust inhibitors
is recommended.
