March 1, 2011 – Siemens Industry introduces 599 Series 2-way ball valves featuring a wide 0.4 to 160 Cv flow capacity range. Available with chrome or stainless steel trim, 599 Series 2-way valves couple with OpenAir spring return and non-spring return actuators offering two-position, floating and proportional control options. Ideal for a wide range of control applications, the 599 Series ball valves are designed for precise HVAC performance in all types of facilities including schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings. 200 psi close-off for 1/2-inch to two-inch sized valves ensures reliable close-off against very high differential pressures.
Additionally, facility energy consumption is reduced with a low ANSI Class IV (0.01% of Cv) leakage. The valves are available in chrome-plated brass ball and brass stem or stainless steel ball and models to withstand harsh operating conditions Other features boosting the reliability of the 599 Series ball valves include a 600 WOG/ANSI 250 pressure rating, a blow-out proof stem, double o-ring stem packing and a universal actuator mounting bracket with standoffs providing a thermal barrier between the actuator and the mounting plate.
