Johnson Controls V46AC-1 Regulating Valve
The Johnson Controls V46AC-1 is a direct acting pressure actuated water regulating valve engineered specifically for technical applications involving non-corrosive refrigerants. This commercial-grade 3/4" NPT water regulating valve features a robust cast brass body, ensuring long-term reliability in high-demand environments. It operates with a precise 70 to 260 PSI opening point range, allowing technicians to maintain optimal head pressure by modulating water flow through the condenser. The unit comes equipped with a 30-inch capillary and a Style 45 1/4" flare nut pressure element for straightforward integration into existing refrigeration manifolds. Whether you are performing a field replacement or a new installation, this standard flow HVAC valve provides stable regulation, preventing excessive water consumption and protecting system efficiency. The V46AC-1 is technically identical to the V46AC-1C model, offering the same HVAC head pressure control characteristics required for consistent cooling performance.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- Precise Pressure Modulation: Maintains stable refrigerant head pressure by regulating water flow in response to pressure changes.
- Durable Construction: The cast brass housing resists corrosion and handles the rigors of commercial mechanical rooms.
- Broad Compatibility: Designed for use with common non-corrosive refrigerants and standard 3/4" plumbing connections.
- Ease of Installation: Includes a 30" capillary with a Style 45 flare nut, reducing the need for additional field-fabricated fittings.
- Field Interchangeability: Direct replacement for the V46AC-1C, ensuring zero downtime during service calls.
What is the maximum water pressure rating for the V46AC-1?
This valve is typically rated for a maximum water side pressure of 150 PSI, though the refrigerant side is designed to handle sensing pressures within the 70 to 260 PSI setpoint range.
Can this valve be used with sea water or corrosive fluids?
No, the V46AC-1 features standard brass internal components intended for fresh water applications. For high-corrosion or marine environments, a seawater-rated version with monel or maritime-grade materials should be specified.
How do I adjust the opening point?
The opening point is field-adjustable using the range screw located at the top of the valve. Turning the screw adjusts the spring tension to match the desired refrigerant head pressure setpoint.
