JOHNSON CONTROLS V46AS-2C Pressure Actuated Water Regulating Valve, 2 Inch NPT, 4 Hole ASME Flange

Johnson Controls V46AS-2C water regulating valve is a device designed to control the flow rate, pressure or direction of water in various systems. It is suitable for irrigation, plumbing and fire protection systems.

Working Mechanism:

• This Johnson Controls water regulating valve operates based on the principle of hydraulic pressure sensing and control.
• When water flows through the valve, it exerts pressure on a diaphragm located within the valve assembly.
• This pressure is transmitted to a sensing element, typically a spring-loaded piston or bellows mechanism, which responds to changes in pressure.
• As the pressure fluctuates, the sensing element modulates the position of the valve's internal plug or orifice, adjusting the flow rate accordingly.
• The valve maintains a preset pressure set point by continuously sensing the pressure and dynamically adjusting the flow restriction to achieve the desired level.
• This mechanism allows for precise regulation of water flow, ensuring consistent pressure levels within the system and providing efficient control over the flow rate as needed.

Features:

• It features a 2-way connection, facilitating easy integration into existing systems.
• This water regulating valve offers a pressure rating of 320 psig, ensuring robust performance under varying pressure conditions.
• It has a flange connection size of 2 inches, providing a secure and reliable connection point.
