300:1 Rangeability = Better Control

Rangeability is a design characteristic of a valve defined as the ratio of the maximum controllable flow to the minimum controllable flow.

For a given valve size, the higher the rangeability, the better because the valve can control a smaller flow rate.


Better Control

● 300:1 Rangeability

● Better control at low flow

● Greater control of temperature

● More stable system

Example:-Maximum controllable flow through valve = 100 gallons/min (gpm)

- Minimum controllable flow through valve = 2 gallons/min (gpm)Rangeability = 100/2 = 50/1


Consistent high level of performance


Exploded View – VBB/VBS Design

PTFE seals allow for lower friction and higher temperature resistance.

With the addition of wave springs, the PTFE seals continually adjust for wear and contamination.

• Less torque required to move ball allows use of smaller actuators

•Unique, patented design


Reliability Assured

●100% inspected AND water tested under pressure●Fewer call-backs●Trouble-free performance


More energy savings


Valve leakage, why is it important?

If you don’t control at close-off, you don’t have control.
