The Johnson Controls VG7842LT+7153G is a factory-assembled control valve package combining the VG7842LT Series VG7000 brass trim globe valve body with the VA-7153-1001 electric actuator. Designed for hot water, chilled water, and steam control in commercial HVAC systems, this assembly delivers precise, reliable flow management in a ready-to-install configuration.
The VG7842LT valve body is a 3/4-inch NPT, three-way mixing valve with a bronze body, stainless steel stem, and brass-against-molded elastomeric disk seat. With a flow coefficient (Cv) of 7.3 and a three-way linear flow characteristic, it provides accurate mixing control across its full operating range. The valve body supports a maximum operating pressure of 400 psi and is rated for water service from 35°F to 248°F (2°C to 120°C) and steam up to 338°F (170°C) at 35 psig. Brass trim meets ANSI Class IV leakage rating at 0.01% of maximum flow per ANSI/FCI 70-2.
The VA-7153-1001 electric actuator is a synchronous motor-driven, non-spring-return unit that provides three-wire incremental control with position feedback. Operating on 24 VAC, it delivers a minimum 90 lb-in (400 N) of output force with a 70-second cycle time and is rated NEMA 2 for general indoor use. Screw terminals accommodate up to 16 AWG wiring. Its magnetic clutch ensures constant output force for positive valve closeoff and protects the motor during stall conditions.
