Honeywell VCA Series Quick Start Manual

The VC hydronic valve consists of a valve body and replaceable characterized
cartridge assembly.
Depending on the valve model selected, they can be used with a VC2114 or
VC8114 series actuator to provide on-off flow control, or with a VC6930 or
VC7930 series actuator to provide proportional flow control. Two way bodies
may be plumbed in either direction. Three-way bodies may be used in either
diverting or mixing applications.
Replacing the cartridge rebuilds the valve. The valve body should be able to
stay in the pipes indefinitely.
VC actuators, ordered separately, use cam-operated cartridge travel to resist
water hammer. Limit switches prevent motor overrun. These actuators are
available with conformal coated printed circuit boards for humidity resistance.
The specifications following are nominal and conform to generally
accepted industry standards. Honeywell is not responsible for damages
resulting from misapplication or misuse of its products.
