Installation Guide

The Johnson Controls V46EK-2C 3/4 IN Water Valve 2 WAY; 3/4 IN Water Valve 2 WAY; 3/4″ Union Sweat, 70 to 260 PSI Opening Point Range, Standard Flow Commercial Type Cast Brass Direct Acting Pressure Actuated Water Regulating Valve for Non-Corrosive Refrigerant with 48″ Capillary with 1/4″ Flare Nut (Style 46) Pressure Element

The V46 is a pressure-actuated modulating valve that is suitable for use either on closed or open systems. Direct-acting valves open on pressure increase. This type of valve is primarily used to regulate the flow of water or glycol to a watercooled condenser on a refrigeration system.

Features

• No close fitting or sliding parts in water passages
• Minimizes chatter or water hammer
• Free movement of all parts provides smooth pressure modulation
• Refrigerant adjustment is not affected by water pressure
• Withstands high hydraulic shock without damage
• Range spring does not come in contact with cooling water
• Easy manual flushing, if required
• 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 in. valves may be disassembled and reassembled without detaching from the refrigeration system or without pumping down.

Applications

This valve is designed to modulate the flow of water or glycol to a water-cooled condenser on a refrigeration system such as the following:

• Ice machines
• Computer room air conditioning units
• Ice cream machines
• Refrigeration cases
