V48A & V88A,J
Diaphragm Gas Valves
SPECIFICATION DATA
FEATURES
• Line voltage, 2-wire thermostat or controller used with a
V48; V88 used with 24V thermostat.
• Valves provide slow opening and fast closing.
• Two second maximum closing time.
• V88J rated for 150°F (66°C) ambient temperature.
• V48A and V88A rated for either 1/2 or 1 psi (3.4 or 6.9
kPa), depending on model. V88J rated for 1 psi (6.9 kPa).
• One model for natural and LP gases.
• Wide range of sizes and capacities.
• Firm closing; diaphragm is both weight and spring loaded.
• Valve closes on power failure; recommended for final
shutoff service.
• Adjustable or fixed bleed orifices available for installation by
OEM.
• Valve position indicator on 1-1/4 in. V48A2227.
APPLICATION
The V48 and V88 are solenoid-operated diaphragm valves
suitable for LP (Liquefied Petroleum), natural, and
manufactured gases. They are normally used on atmospheric
boilers, commercial water heaters, and rooftop heaters.
