Maintain stable condenser head pressure with the Johnson Controls V246GS1-001C, a 2-way, direct-acting water regulating valve for commercial condenser water-control applications.

Designed for non-corrosive refrigerants such as R410A, it modulates condenser water flow as system pressure changes to support efficient, consistent operation.

The valve features a 2-inch ASME four-hole flanged connection, a durable cast iron body with a rust-resistant finish, and a pressure-balanced design that helps prevent water-pressure fluctuations from shifting the setpoint. Its opening pressure is adjustable from 200 to 400 psig and factory set at 200 psig, while the Style 5 pressure element includes a 1/4-inch male flare connection.

Rated for 630 psig on the refrigerant side and 150 psig on the water side, it supports media temperatures from -4°F to 170°F. 

The accessible range spring and take-apart construction simplify adjustment and servicing. The V246GS1-001C delivers precise pressure response, durable construction, and reliable performance for commercial HVAC and refrigeration service. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions
 

• What does the Johnson Controls V246GS1-001C do?

It regulates condenser water flow in response to refrigerant pressure changes, helping maintain stable condenser head pressure in commercial HVAC and refrigeration systems.

• Is the V246GS1-001C compatible with R410A?

Yes. It is designed for use with high-pressure, non-corrosive refrigerants such as R410A.

• What connection type does this valve use?

The valve has a 2-inch ASME four-hole flanged connection for installation in compatible condenser water piping systems.

• What is the adjustable opening pressure range?

The opening pressure can be adjusted from 200 to 400 psig and is factory set at 200 psig.

• What are the maximum working pressure ratings?

The valve is rated for up to 630 psig on the refrigerant side and 150 psig on the water side.

• What media temperature range does it support?

The V246GS1-001C supports media temperatures from -4°F to 170°F.

• Can the valve be serviced without removing it from the piping?

Yes. Its take-apart construction allows access to internal components while the valve body remains installed.

• What type of pressure connection is included?

The Style 5 pressure element includes a 1/4-inch male flare connection.
