Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description The 599 Series Two-way Ball Valves are coupled with OpenAir™ actuators to provide
equal percentage flow control. The ball valves are 1/4-turn rotary control valves and are
available in 1/2-inch to 2-inch line sizes.
Features
•200 psi close-off with ANSI Class IV leakage for all line sizes and actuators.
•Available with chrome-plated brass ball and brass stem or
stainless steel ball and stem.
•Blow-out proof stem withstands high pressure.
•Universal mounting plate.
•Actuator and plate can be rotated (90 degree increments).
•Standoffs provide a thermal barrier between the actuator and the mounting plate.
•Operating handle for manual operation.
Application Ball valves can control hot or chilled water and up to 50% water-glycol solution in
convectors, fan coil units, unit conditioners, radiators, and reheat coils.
WARNING:
Personal injury/loss of life may occur if you do not perform a
procedure as specified.
CAUTION:
Equipment damage may occur if you do not perform a
procedure as specified.
Product Numbers See Tables 2 through Table 7.

Operation
The parabolic shape of the flow characterizer orifice (Figure 2) provides a slowly
opening valve. Equal movements of the valve stem, at any point of the flow range,
change the existing flow an equal percentage regardless of the existing flow. The ball
valve equal percentage flow characteristic (Figure 3) mirrors the flow characteristic of a
coil, resulting in linear heat transfer.

Mounting and
Installation
Install the valve so that the flow follows the
direction of the arrow cast on the valve
body.
For added flexibility, the actuator mounting
plate can be installed in any of the four (4)
rotation angles relative to the valve body.
For best performance, install the valve
assembly with the actuator above the
valve body.
The valve and actuator assembly can be
installed in a horizontal pipe in any position
between vertical and 90°.
The ball valve also can be installed
vertically.
CAUTION:
Do not install the valve assembly
so that the actuator is below
horizontal or upside-down.
See Ball Valve Bracket Kit
Installation Instructions 129-496
for complete and proper
installation and mounting
instructions.
Allow sufficient space for servicing the
valve and actuator. See Figure 5 and
Table 9 for valve body dimensions and
service envelope.
