Honeywell Ball Valve, 3 Way, 5 in. 309 Cv - VBF3K31S0C/M

The product, a 5 in., 3-way Ball Valve with a 309 Cv rating, is fashioned with a flanged cast-iron body, a Teflon seat, and a 316 Stainless Steel stem from Honeywell. The valve offers sizes between 4 to 6 inches, accompanying ANSI Class 125 Flanged connections.

One of its flagship features is a removable manual operating handle which allows the user to manage the valve during set up or during a power failure. Another striking attribute to find in this valve is its ability to be field-configurable to open or close on failure, offering flexibility based on user’s needs.

For outdoor usage and durability, there's an option for a NEMA 3R(IP54) rate enclosure. Mounting isn't a worry as four actuator mounting positions are available on the valve for easier installation. The valve also provides a broad range of Cv options, with choices ranging from 91 to 650.

Its function as a Globe Valve offers an A-B-AB flow pattern that comes with a Side B Port. The operating temperature of the valve ranges from -22 degrees Fahrenheit to 250 degrees Fahrenheit (-30 degrees Celsius to 121 degrees Celsius), making it suitable for both hot and chilled water with glycol solutions up to 50%.

The 3-way ball Valve features an equal percentage flow characteristic from Port A to AB, while the flow from Port B to AB is linear but with a 20% reduced flow capacity. To find the limit of its effectiveness, one could observe that the Cut-Off pressure of the valve is placed at 70 psi.
