Description
The Johnson Controls V246GM1-001C is a commercial-grade, direct-acting pressure actuated water regulating valve engineered for high-pressure refrigerant applications. Built with a durable cast iron body and a 1-1/4″ union sweat connection, this valve delivers reliable, automatic flow regulation to protect condensers and maintain system efficiency in demanding commercial refrigeration and HVAC installations.
The V246GM1-001C features a Style 5 pressure element with a 1/4″ external flare fitting, allowing straightforward connection to the high-side refrigerant circuit. As refrigerant head pressure rises, the valve opens to increase condenser water flow; as pressure drops, it modulates closed — all without the need for an external power source.
