61.1 n Functional features n CARLY advantages Ball valves VBCY n Applications • Secure and airtight fastening of refrigerating and air conditioning installation line. C o Products are compatible with HFCs, HCFCs, CFCs, as well as with their associated oils and additives. Products are designed for use of non-hazardous refrigerants from group 2 of PED 97/23/EC. o Product classification in CE categories is performed using the PED 97/23/EC table, corresponding to a nominal diameter-based selection. o Integral flow with no pressure drop, with slight diameter restrictions for some models (refer to the technical features table on pages 61.2 and 61.3). o Bi-flow ball valves that can be installed in all positions. o Stainless steel balls, with a hole for pressure equalization. o 11 models with die-cast brass body (from 1/4” to 7/8” and from 6 to 22 mm). o 10 models with lined steel body (from 1” 1/8 to 3” 1/8 and from 28 to 80 mm) and with anticorrosive protection varnish. o Quick quarter turn opening and closing, with built-in rotation limiter. o Reinforced air-tightness of the inspection rod with two Neoprene® O-rings for the brass valves and a PTFE gland nut for the steel valves. o Internal air-tightness performed by two PTFE double reach seats, set in the centre of the valve body. o Flat area at the base of the control connection, that allows full safety loosening of the protection plug. o Protection plug with PTFE gasket and a safety orifice to prevent accidental ejection. o GOST certified products.

61.2 n Technical features of VBCY brass ball valves * The ball valves can be mounted on the suction, discharge, liquid and oil lines. * The brazing of valves can be performed without removal. * During the brazing operation, the valves must remain in the open position. * In order to not deteriorate seat air-tightness, the inspection rod’s intermediate positions, between opening and full closing, are forbidden. * Slightly re-tighten the steel valves gland nut during each maintenance operation. * The recommended tightening torques of the gland nut gasket are: VBCY 9 S/MMS: 16 N.m VBCY 11 and 13...
