Applications include chilled or hot water and steam. Field selectable input signals include reverse and direct acting, floating or proportional 0-10Vdc, 2-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA, and proportional sequencing input signal ranges.

Using the required flow and pressure drop for the application, determine the required flow coefficient (consult CA28, F-13755 if necessary). 2.Determine valve body part number. Select a flanged VB-8xxx valve body from Table-1 or a flanged VB-9313 valve body from Table-2 having the required flow coefficient, size, body pattern, end connection, and temperature/pressure ratings appropriate for the application. 3.Select the Forta Actuator Using the required close-off pressure for the application, consult Table-5 and select a Forta actuator having sufficient close-off pressure on the valve body selected in step 2. For valve/actuator combinations using VB-8xxx valve bodies, also consult Table-5 for maximum operating pressure differential limitations. Additional Forta actuator specifications may be found in Table-3 or in the Forta Installation Instructions sheets shown in Applicable Literature. If necessary, use the dimensional information in Figure-1, Figure-2, Table-8, and Table-9 to confirm that the valve-actuator assembly will fit in the available space. 4.Determine Assembly Part Number If a complete factory valve and actuator assembly is required, consult Table-3 for the actuator code of the Forta actuator selected in Step 3. For the complete assembly part number: • Change the valve body part number prefix from VB to VU. • Insert the actuator code in the third field of the part number. • Confirm the factory assembly is available in Table-6 Example: • Valve body:VB-8213-0-4-14 • Actuator:M1500A (actuator code 686 from Table-3) • Complete assembly:VU-8213-686-4-14 Forta actuators are field configured for the desired control signal type and range plus the desired action. Consult the appropriate Forta Installation Instructions for further informa- tion (see Applicable Literature).2© Copyright 2011 Schneider Electric All Rights Reserved.F-27491-5 Valve Body and Actuator Selection Table-1Schneider Electric VB-8213, VB-8223, and VB-8303 Valve Bodies Two-Way and Three-Way Valves • Two-way Stem Up Open or Stem Up Closed • Three-way Mixing/Diverting • ASA 125 Flanged • Cast Iron Body Application Chilled or Hot Water, SteamChilled or Hot Water Two-Way FlangedThree-Way Flanged Size2-1/2” to 6”2-1/2” to 6”2-1/2” to 6” Valve Body Part NumberVB-8213-0-5-PVB-8223-0-5-PVB-8303-0-5-P Valve Body Action2-Way Stem Open2-Way Stem Up Closed3-Way Mixing/Diverting a a VB-8303 valves may be used as either mixing or diverting valves.
