The Schneider Electric part number VU-8303-686-5-12 is a 3-way globe valve assembly designed for versatile applications requiring precise fluid control. Constructed with a cast iron body, this assembly effectively manages various flow requirements. The valve measures 2.5 inches in size, making it suitable for a range of plumbing scenarios.
It features impressive Cv ratings of 80 for mixing and 95-115 for diverting, ensuring optimal performance across different operations. The internal trim is made from brass, enhancing durability and resistance against wear. With an actuator force reaching 337 lbf (1500 N), the valve operates efficiently under a variety of conditions.
The fail-safe mechanism is a non-spring return (NSR) type, which provides reliability during operations. Control signals are flexible, accommodating either floating or proportional inputs, including ranges of 0-10 Volts DC, 2-10 Volts DC, or 4-20 mA. For feedback, a 2-10 VDC signal is utilized.
Power is supplied at 24 V AC/DC, making this valve compatible with various systems, and the NEMA 2 enclosure rating ensures proper protection when mounted vertically and with both conduits connected. This valve operates effectively in humid environments, with a humidity tolerance between 5 and 95% RH (non-condensing). The operational temperature range allows for minimum conditions as low as -10°C, while achieving maximum temperatures up to 45°C, specifically at a maximum valve fluid temperature of 138°C.
