V46AE-1

Johnson Controls' V46AE-1 is a specialized pressure-actuated water-regulating valve, optimized for controlling water flow in various commercial applications. With a size of 1-1/4 inches, this valve is constructed to be robust yet lightweight, weighing in at 10.0 lbs. The direct-acting design ensures responsive operation in dynamic system conditions.

End connections are NPT threaded, facilitating compatibility with standard piping setups. The valve is ideal for use with non-corrosive refrigerants, ensuring durability and long-term operational reliability. This model utilizes a pressure connection style classified as Style 45 to facilitate accurate pressure readings.

Key materials play a vital role in the V46AE-1's functionality. The body is made of cast brass, providing strength and resistance to wear. The valve seat is crafted from aluminum bronze, while the valve disc is made from Buna-N, which offers excellent sealing properties. Together, these materials enhance the valve's performance across a wide range of operational conditions.

For water applications, the V46AE-1 can accommodate a maximum water supply pressure of 150 psig (1,034 kPa) and can function effectively at supply temperatures reaching 77 °C. Furthermore, it is rated for a maximum refrigerant pressure of 320 psig (2,206 kPa). This versatile valve is designed to handle demanding conditions while delivering reliable water regulation for commercial systems.
