Honeywell VBN3BGPA2000 3-Way Control Ball Valve 3/4 in. NPT Cv 3.8 with MVN Actuator

The Honeywell VBN3BGPA2000 is a 3-way threaded control ball valve assembly featuring a 3/4-inch female NPT connection, a Cv rating of 3.8, and a factory-installed MVN non-spring return floating actuator. Designed for use in commercial and industrial HVAC systems, this valve controls hot and chilled water as well as glycol solutions up to 50% concentration to provide precise two-position or modulating flow control.

The VBN3 series features a nickel-chrome plated brass ball and body construction along with Honeywell's patented seat design, which reduces actuator torque requirements while maintaining tight shutoff. The valve supports both mixing and diverting configurations and delivers an equal percentage flow characteristic on the A-to-AB port and a linear characteristic on the B-to-AB port.

Key Features:

• 3-way, 3/4-inch female NPT threaded connections for straightforward installation
• Cv rating of 3.8 — reduced B port Cv for constant loop flow in variable flow systems
• Nickel-chrome plated brass ball, stem, and body construction
• Patented seat design reduces actuator torque and extends service life
• ANSI Class IV seat leakage (0.01% of Cv) on A port; ANSI Class III (0.1% of Cv) on B port
• Equal percentage flow characteristic (Port A to AB); linear characteristic (Port B to AB)
• Mixing or diverting control — field configurable for either application
• Factory-installed MVN non-spring return actuator — floating control, 24 VAC, fail-in-place
• Removable manual override handle for manual operation during installation or power failure
• Standard profile provides clearance between valve body and actuator for pipe insulation
• Rated for water and glycol solutions up to 50%; not for use with steam or fuels
• Body pressure rating: 360 psi maximum
• Design life: 60,000 cycles

The VBN3BGPA2000 is part of Honeywell's proven VBN series, which is compatible with the full range of MVN and MS direct-coupled actuators and accessories. The field-serviceable, packless stem assembly can be replaced without removing the valve body from the piping, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
