Description
Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) VB-8213-0-5-15 Overview
The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) VB-8213-0-5-15 is a heavy-duty, two-way globe valve engineered for precise flow control in commercial and industrial HVAC hydronic systems. With a large 5-inch flanged connection and an impressive 240 Cv flow coefficient, this valve is built to handle high-volume water and steam applications where accurate modulation is critical. The equal percentage flow characteristic ensures smooth, proportional control across the full stroke range, making it an ideal match for variable-flow hydronic heating and cooling systems.
Key Features

- Brand: Schneider Electric (formerly Barber Colman)
- SKU: VB-8213-0-5-15
Application & Benefits
The VB-8213-0-5-15 is designed for use in large-scale commercial HVAC systems including chilled water, hot water, and low-pressure steam applications. The cast iron body provides exceptional strength and longevity under continuous service conditions, while the brass trim resists corrosion and scaling. The ANSI Class 125 pressure rating ensures compatibility with standard hydronic system piping and flanged connections.
The equal percentage flow characteristic delivers precise control authority at low flow rates and progressively greater flow changes at higher valve positions — ideal for coil control applications where stable loop performance is required. The stem-up-open design provides a fail-closed safety position, adding an extra layer of system protection.
Compatibility
This valve is designed to be paired with compatible Schneider Electric / Barber Colman actuators for full modulating or two-position control. Always verify actuator torque and stroke requirements match the valve specifications prior to installation.
