Johnson Controls VP140LCA 1/2" Pressure Independent Control Valve Body 1 GPM

The Johnson Controls VP140LCA is a 1/2-inch Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) body rated at 1 GPM, engineered for precise hydronic flow control in commercial HVAC systems. PICVs combine the functions of a balancing valve, control valve, and differential pressure regulator into a single compact unit, eliminating the need for separate balancing components and simplifying system design.

This valve body is designed to work with compatible Johnson Controls actuators as part of the VP140 series assembly. The pressure-independent design ensures a constant, pre-set maximum flow rate regardless of fluctuating differential pressures across the system, providing superior temperature control and energy efficiency in variable volume hydronic applications.

Key Features:

• Pressure Independent Design: Maintains consistent flow rate across a wide differential pressure range, eliminating the need for separate balancing valves
• Flow Rate: Factory pre-set at 1 GPM maximum flow
• Valve Size: 1/2-inch pipe connection for use in small zone hydronic circuits
• 3-in-1 Functionality: Combines balancing valve, control valve, and differential pressure regulator in one compact body
• Commercial Grade Construction: Built to Johnson Controls quality standards for long-term reliability in demanding HVAC environments
• Actuator Compatible: Valve body designed for use with Johnson Controls VA series actuators (sold separately)
• Energy Efficiency: Precise flow control reduces energy waste and improves overall system performance

The VP140LCA is ideal for fan coil units, air handling units, and terminal unit applications in commercial buildings where accurate hydronic balancing and control are critical. As a valve body only, a compatible Johnson Controls actuator is required to complete the assembly.
