Page 14: Constant Volume Valve Reassembly
Constant Volume Valve Reassembly After installing a Constant Volume (CV) Venturi Valve and before turning air on to the system, it is necessary to reconnect the factory calibrated linkage. STEP 1 Cut cable tie and remove instruction tag from the valve. For a multi-body valve there will be more than one cable tie. -
Page 15: Valve Accessories
VALVE ACCESSORIES Venturi Valves can function with a variety of different products to control air temperature, decrease noise, and improve ease of installation. Valve accessories and optional products provided by CAUTION Antec Controls include: 1. Hot Water Coils (VVHWC) 2. Electric Coils (VVEC) Different types of valve accessories can be used with the 3. - Page 16 Installation STEP 1 Hot water coils are only available in supply orientation and should always be located down stream of the supply Venturi Valve. STEP 2 For single VVHWC’s, position the bead connection so that it faces the airflow. For multibody VVHWC’s, position the slip connection so that it faces the airflow. NOTE: Both single and multibody valves have slip and drive connections that will face down stream of the airflow.

Page 17: Electric Coils (Vvec)
Electric Coils (VVEC) Electric Coils (VVEC) are devices installed with Venturi Valves that control room environment by heating the air moving through the valve. The VVEC operates using standard building electrical power and is designed to optimize heat transfer. Overview See the VVEC Product Submittal on AntecControls.com for specifications and dimensions of the options below. - Page 18 Electrical Installation 1. Review Electrical Wiring diagram included with heater (typically glued to inside of electrical enclosure door). 2. Ensure circuit powering the heater has proper capacity. Follow local building codes. 3. The electric duct heater must have an uninterrupted or unbroken electrical ground to minimize the chance of injury should an electrical fault occur.

Page 19: Silencer (Vvsil)
Silencer (VVSIL) Silencer (VVSIL) is a highly engineered 14 inches silencer specifically designed for the full spectrum attenuation of sounds produced by Venturi Valves. The packless design provides minimal disturbance in the airflow resulting in low pressure drops across the silencer. Overview See the VVSIL Product Submittal on AntecControls.com for specifications and dimensions. -
Page 20: Valve Companion Connections (Vct)
Valve Companion Connections (VCT) Valve Companion Connections (VCT) come in two different types: drawband clamps and companion flanges. Drawband clamps are designed as a connection method specifically for slip Venturi Valves. Drawband clamps are an alternative to directly fastening the valve to the ductwork. The drawband clamp provides uniform compression, connecting spiral or plain ductwork to a valve, ensuring that the valve is properly supported. - Page 21 Slip-Connection Venturi Valve with Drawband Clamps Installation STEP 1 Slide drawband clamps completely onto the inlet and discharge ductwork. STEP 2 Mount the Venturi Valve by slipping both the inlet and the discharge one inch (1”) into the appropriate sized ductwork. STEP 3 Apply appropriate tape to seal valve to duct work if required.
- Page 22 Flange-Connection Venturi Valve with Companion Flanges Installation STEP 1 Slide companion flanges completely onto the inlet and discharge ductwork with the flanged end of the companion flanges toward the free space. STEP 2 Align hole pattern to match opposing companion flange as shown. STEP 3a For Aluminum Companion Flanges, fasten each companion flange with six (6 ) sheet metal screws.
