GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SERIES “V-316” VALVES

The V-316 Valve Series provides a full range of control valves suited to the most demanding of applications. Ruggedly
constructed, both internally and externally, of stainless steel, these valves are able to withstand the physical abuse
of corrosive environments and controlled media.
A modular design concept utilizing three basic sub-assemblies: a Body Assembly and two Actuator Assemblies
(active or passive), simplifies circuit planning while affording almost unlimited combination possibilities.
Port sizes are 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2” NPT in 2 and 3-position, three-way (3/2, 3/3), and four-way (5/2 and 5/3) styles. A
1” NPT is available as 2-position, three-way (3/2) and four-way (5/2).
Actuation types include manual (hand lever, palm button, latching detent & manual reset), pilot (pressure pilot,
diaphragm pilot, “air-latch” pilot), and solenoid-pilot (including several approved hazardous service types).

EVERY VALVE FUNCTIONALLY TESTED THROUGHOUT COMPLETE PRESSURE RANGE BEFORE SHIPPING

COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATION RANGE: Series V-316 valves are designed for the control of pneumatic pressures
from partial vacuum to 200 psi (14 bar). Because Versa uses various styles and compounds of elastomers, it is
possible to meet varying conditions of media and temperature.
Limitations generally apply to specific types of actuation, such as solenoid or pilot. The minimum and maximum
pressures in these cases are dependent upon valve size, method of return actuation, valve series, and range of
pressure being controlled. For specific information, refer to specification pages 6 thru 9.

MEDIA
Air / inert gas, including natural gas. Consult factory for hydraulic service.
The standard V-316 Series product is rated for air and gas service including natural gas. While the standard valve is rated for
natural gas, Versa recommends suffix detail –NGS for enhanced valve performance (-NGST for low temperature applications).
Versa Products Company’s valves and accessories are intended for use in clean dry air or inert gas systems. Versa requires
filters of 40 microns or better. Versa defines “dry” as a system where dew point is 20°F below the minimum temperature to which
any part of the system is exposed.
Versa’s products are rated for lubricated or non lubricated service. On lubricated service, care should be taken to follow the
lubricator manufactures’ recommendations as to use and maintenance. As Versa ‘s products are elastomer sealed devices, seal
compatibility with media, lubricator fluid and environmental conditions should be confirmed,

ACTUATING DEVICES
The basic purpose of the actuating device is to provide a means of shifting the valve spool in order to control the media flowing
through the valve. Because the valve’s spool design is balanced, the force required to shift the spool, is separate and unaffected
by the pressure being controlled.

The actuators are designed for application within 2 ranges of valve sizes: one range of actuators for all valve styles, types, and
sizes ¼” through ½”; another range of actuators for the 1” size valves.

Illustrated with brief descriptions are the basic types of actuators in most frequent use. The “letters” referred to by the actuator
types coincide with the prefix letters used in the product numbering system. Many variations and modifications of these basic
actuators are also available. A few are described on Page 5 under Suffix Details. Others, such as combination actuators, can
be found on Pages 26 and 27.

MANUAL
A push or pull motion may be used to operate the hand device in order to shift the valve spool. If used with a detent device (“U”
or “Z”) or a no-spring device (“N”) the handle must be actuated and returned manually. With a spring centering device (“B”) the
handle will normally be in the center position when not actuated, or will return to the center position after being actuated. To
actuate with a spring centering device, the handle must be pulled to one offset position and pushed to the other. The precise
differences of each of the three hand actuating devices are described below.

TYPE “L” HAND LEVER (Centerline Mounted)

The handle of this device is in the vertical plane through the center line of the valve
body. On models up to ½” pipe size, a rubber boot provides protection from dirt and
dust. The entire device may be rotated into positions at increments of 90° from vertical.
To indicate, use Suffix –218A, –218B, or –218C as shown below for offset mounted
hand lever.

HAND LEVER

TYPE “I” PALM BUTTON (Panel Mounting Is Standard)

The body of the Palm Button actuator is supplied with a thread and nut that
allows the actuator, when required, to be fastened to a panel with the valve
behind the panel. The button will then project through and be visible
from the front panel. Pushing or pulling the button activates the valve.

PALM BUTTON

ACTUATING DEVICES
PILOT
The pilot actuator is a small cylinder and piston that is an
integral part of the valve and which, when pressurized or un-
pressurized, actuates the valve.
TYPE “P” PRESSURE PILOT (for 2-Position valves)
TYPE “J” PRESSURE PILOT (for 3-Position valves)
This pilot requires pressure to actuate the valve, and release of
the pressure to return the valve. Usually it is controlled by a small
Three-Way valve. The pilot port on the ¼” through ½” valves may
be rotated to any position in 90° increments from vertical. (See
option arrangements below). When used in pairs for 2-position
valves, it is not necessary to maintain pressure on the actuated
pilot in order for the valve to remain in actuated position. Valve will
remain in last position until signalled by the opposite pilot to return. PILOT -P
When used with spring centering feature (“J”), valve will remain in
center position until actuated by either pilot. To remain in actuated
position, pilot must remain pressurized until it is required for valve
to return to center position.
PILOT POSITION OPTIONS

227A Pilot actuated valves (¼” thru

STANDARD ½”) are supplied with the pilot
POSITION OF 227B port facing the same direction
PILOT INLET as the inlet port of the valve
proper. Three other positions
227C
are available (Suffix -227A thru
-227C).
To order simply include the PILOT -J
suffix number shown.
Example: VSP-4302-316-227A.

TYPE “W” DIAPHRAGM PILOT (for 2-Position valves)

TYPE “Y” DIAPHRAGM PILOT (for 3-Position valves)
A large pilot area allows the diaphragm pilot to function on very
low signal pressures. Usually controlled by a Three-Way valve,
the diaphragm pilot requires pressure to actuate. When used in
pairs for 2-position valves, it is not necessary to maintain pressure
on actuated pilot in order for valve to remain in actuated position.
Valve will remain in last position until signalled by opposite pilot
to return. When used with spring centering feature (“Y”) valve
will remain in center position until actuated by pilot. To remain in
actuated position, pilot must remain pressurized until it is required
for valve to return to center position.

ACTUATING DEVICES
SOLENOID/PILOT
A low power solenoid controls a built-in pilot which provides the positive
force for shifting the valve spool. When used with a spring return (“S”)
the valve will be actuated when the solenoid is energized and will return
when the solenoid is de-energized. When used in pairs for 2-position
valves, the solenoid need only be energized momentarily in order to
shift the valve. The valve will then remain in the shifted position until
signalled to return by the opposite solenoid. In spring centering models
(“X”) the valve will remain in the center position until one of the solenoids
is energized. It is necessary to maintain energy on the solenoid as long
as it is desired for the valve to remain in the shifted position. When de-
energized, the valve will return to the center position.

STANDARD COILS are epoxy molded in a steel inclosure with ½” con-

duit hub. For AC and DC voltages available, see Pages 7 - 9.
Two Piloting devices are available depending upon the service to which
GENERAL PURPOSE SOLENOID
they will be applied:
INPilot– utilizes the pressure from the inlet of the valve, through
internal passages, to the solenoid-pilot. In this type valve, only
one pressure connection, the inlet, is necessary.
EXPilot– requires a separate auxiliary pressure line to the
solenoid-pilot. Should be used when valve is controlling vacuum,
when pressure will be below the minimum recommended for
INPilot operation or when viscosity of controlled medium is
such that it will impede the speed of actuation. In any case, the
pressure source may be either air or liquid and is independent of
the medium which is being controlled by the valve.
EXPILOT
PORT
TYPE “G” UPRIGHT SOLENOID/PILOT (for 2-Position valves)
TYPE “X” UPRIGHT SOLENOID/PILOT (for 3-Position valves)
Coils of actuator are placed on top of solenoid cap so as to be
perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve. Shortens overall
length of valve. Used as standard for valves equipped with hazardous

VERSA SPECIAL PURPOSE DUAL SOLENOID VALVES

Push Pull Solenoid Suffix -PPG

General Description
A dual solenoid valve with a hand lever. The design concept is to provide the
functionality of a dual coil, 2-position valve with the addition of manual control
or any other actuator. The valve operates as standard 2-position requiring
only momentary electrical contact to shift valve. Various manual actuators
are available. The lever shown is an “L” type which can be manually set in
either offset position when the solenoid valve is de-energized.

Redundant Solenoid 2oo2, Suffix -RS

General Description
When parallel electronic control circuits are utilized in a system, if a complete
control circuit fails or requires maintenance, the parallel circuit will keep the system
running. In a parallel circuit Versa’s Redundant Valve functions the
same as a solenoid operated-spring return valve, except that it has
two solenoids (one for each of the parallel circuits) rather than one
solenoid. Either or both of these solenoids will shift and maintain
the controlled device in the shifted position. Both solenoids must
be de-energized to return the controlled device to the un-shifted position.
The use of one Redundant Valve can replace multiple valves and components to
accomplish the same function. This function can be considered as a (2oo2).

Shut Off Valve 1oo2, Suffix -SOV

General Description
While the Shut off Valve looks similar to the Redundant Solenoid Valve (shown
above) the internal pilot circuit is different. The -SOV option provides a series
pilot control circuit that requires both coils, a primary and a secondary,
to be energized in order for the valve to shift. Conversely if the
electrical signal to either coil is removed the valve will return to
the de-energized position. This function can be considered as a
(1oo2), where various control devices (e.g., temperature, pressure
switches) could be wired in series with each coil. The actuation of
any one of these devices, attached to either coil, would interrupt the signal
to the coil and cause the valve to shift to the de-energized position.

VERSA LATCHING/MANUAL RESET VALVES
Latching/Manual Reset Three-Way Valve, Solenoid Actuated.
Latching valves are particularly suited to applications where (VAG-3521-316-181D-XDBT1-D024 shown)
it is desirable or mandatory to manually reset or restart a
system. A typical application could involve the emergency
shutdown of automatically monitored process operations.
Loss or interruption of the control signal to the valve actuator
causes the valve to shift, latch and shut-down a process
step. When the signal is restored the valve remains in the
latched position until the operator manually unlatches it
and allows the process step to resume. Positive latching in
such an application is vitally important since many process
operations are sequential and one step must not be started
until the one ahead of it has started.
This example is only one of many which can be
accommodated through the use of Versa’s Latching Valves.
A wide range of functional types, port sizes, actuators, and
latching arrangements provides the engineer with a complete
choice of valves to meet the requirement of the application.
The Latching Device actuator consists of an integral spring for returning the valve plunger,
and an inline hand operator where needed to manually shift the valve. The specific Latching
Device may be attached to any Series V-316 valve body size or style. Typically the actuator on the
opposite end of the valve body would be an automatic type such as a solenoid, a remote pressure pilot, or a
low pressure diaphragm actuator.
