Description
The Johnson Controls VP140LCA is a 1/2″ Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) body rated at 1.6 GPM, engineered for precise and reliable flow control in commercial hydronic heating and cooling systems. By combining the functions of a control valve, flow-limiting valve, and differential pressure regulator into a single compact unit, this PICV valve body eliminates the need for separate balancing valves — simplifying installation and reducing overall system complexity.
Key Features
- Pressure Independent Control Valve (PICV) design combines flow limiting, balancing, and control functions in one body
- 1/2″ pipe connection size for compact hydronic system installations
- 1.6 GPM maximum flow rate for precise zone-level flow management
- Maintains consistent flow regardless of system pressure fluctuations
- Designed for use with compatible Johnson Controls actuators for full modulating control
- Reduces installation time by eliminating the need for separate balancing valves
- Ideal for variable air volume (VAV) and fan coil unit (FCU) applications
Application
The VP140LCA is well-suited for commercial HVAC hydronic systems including fan coil units, air handling units, and terminal unit applications where accurate flow control and system balance are critical. The pressure-independent design ensures that each zone receives its design flow rate regardless of pressure variations elsewhere in the system, improving overall energy efficiency and occupant comfort.
