Johnson Control Valves

With the Johnson Control Company being a leader in the heating control, ventilation control, air conditioning control and refrigeration controls markets since the early years of the company, at the end of the nineteenth century, control valves have played a major role in Johnson Control’s uprise as a HVAC manufacturer. Their large array of valves and valve accessories have found use in millions of HVAC applications throughout the entire world and their reliable and proficient capabilities have made Johnson Control valves to be some of the most sought-after products on the market.

The company has been manufacturing control valves for almost a century, adapting to the constant changes in the requirements and needs of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning industry. With one of the largest selections of gas valves and actuators available, the company is certified and approved as one of the best valve manufacturers in North America, Asia and Europe. All gas valves come with either a three or five year warranty, which is a clear sign that their company places a lot of trust in their own products. Usually when a manufacturer offers such a long warranty, the products are thoroughly tested and their breakdown rate is extremely low. A long warranty is simply a sign of quality, reliability and professionalism, coming from the manufacturer.

There are six types of valves that they produces. These are: modulating spring return closed valves, modulating spring return open valves, modulating non spring return valves, on/off two-way spring return closed valves, on/off two-way spring return open valves and on/off three-way spring return valves. These valve types break down into ball operated valves, solenoid valves, thermostat expansion valves and standard motorized valves, although their focus seems to be on ball operated valves.

Ball valves is a general term we use for a distinct category of valves, which includes fire safe ball valves, panel mounted ball valves, actuated ball valves, high pressure ball valves and the likes. A ball valve, often referred to as a quarter turn valve, opens by turning a handle attached to a ball inside the valve. To make the ball that operates the valve more durable, since it will be the subject of high pressures and flow stress, some ball valves are chrome plated to increase toughness. The ball includes a port or a hole that blocks flow through the valve. Once the port is in line with the ends of the valve, flow will be released. The liquid passageway is constructed so that if it’s not in line with the ends of the valve, no spills occur, protecting the valve and the system you are using it for. The materials from which ball valves are manufactured are metals, ceramics or plastics (or a combination of the three).
