Assembly
The Flowrite VF 599 Series ANSI Class 250 three-way valves are designed to work with
either a pneumatic or electronic actuator with a 3/4-inch (20 mm) stroke.
•
ANSI Leakage Class IV (0.01% of Cv)
•
Cartridge type packing
•
Choice of brass or stainless steel trim
•
Direct-coupled universal bonnet
A typical application for the Flowrite three-way valve is the mixing of two different
temperatures of water supplies.
The valve can also be used for throttling or bypass coil control applications. A pump is
recommended on the coil circuit to improve the heat transfer characteristics of the coil
and for freeze protection.
See Table 1.
To order a complete valve plus actuator assembly from the factory, combine the
actuator prefix code with the suffix of the valve assembly product number. See Flowrite
Technical Bulletins 155-772 and 155-776 for complete selection procedure and ordering
codes.
Valve assemblies can be ordered using the valve part numbers in Table 1 and the
actuator prefix codes in Table 7.

Page 8: Installation
For best performance, install the valve assembly with the actuator above the valve body. The valve and actuator can be installed in any position between vertical and horizontal. Siemens Building Technologies does not recommend installing the valve assembly so that the actuator is below horizontal or upside down. - Page 9 Flowrite 599 Series Three-Way Valves Technical Instructions Document Number 155-185P25 June 10, 2014 Dimensions The letters in Figure 6 refer to actuator and service envelope dimensions in Table 7.
