The Belimo B2050VS-15+LF24-S US pairs the B2050VS-15 1/2" characterized control ball valve (VS) with a factory-mounted spring return valve actuator. It delivers a Cv of 15 (about 30 GPM of water at a 4 psi drop, ASHRAE standard), 600 psi close-off, and a 600 psig WOG bronze body with an NPT female 1/2" connection. Equal-percentage flow gives precise, repeatable two-position (on/off) control across the full stroke.
Specifications per the Belimo B2050VS-15 product datasheet.
Overview
Belimo VS/VSS Series characterized control valves use a contoured ball and insert to linearize flow and hold valve authority for stable hydronic control. The B2050VS-15 is a VS bronze-body valve with an NPT female 1/2" connection, 600 psig WOG body rating, 600 psi close-off, and equal-percentage flow, shipped factory-assembled and tested with the LF24-S US actuator as a matched, ready-to-wire unit. The VS is the bronze-body version rated <strong>600 psig WOG</strong> with <strong>600 psi close-off</strong> for standard chilled- and hot-water hydronic service. Where higher pressure or NSF-certified, lead-free potable-water service is required, the stainless <strong>VSS</strong> variant rated 1500 psig WOG / 1000 psi close-off is the step-up option.
Best for
- 1/2" 2-way chilled-water and hot-water control in fan-coil units, reheat coils, and zone hydronic loops
- Applications needing tight 600 psi close-off and precise two-position (on/off) control
- Equal-percentage characterized flow for repeatable modulation and good valve authority
- Factory-assembled valve and actuator — no field coupling or mounting guesswork

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this valve come with the actuator attached?
Yes. The B2050VS-15+LF24-S US ships as a factory-assembled, tested valve-and-actuator unit. The LF24-S US actuator is mounted and ready to wire.
What media can this valve handle?
Chilled or hot water and water with up to 60% glycol within the rated temperature range.
What is the close-off pressure?
600 psi (∆ps) on water, giving dependable shutoff in VS hydronic systems.
How many GPM will this valve flow?
With a Cv of 15, it passes about 30 GPM of water at a 4 psi pressure drop, the ASHRAE standard sizing point (GPM = Cv x square root of ∆P). At 1 psi it is about 15 GPM. Size to your actual design ∆P.
Is this a 2-way or 3-way valve?
This is a 2-way characterized control ball valve for modulating or two-position service depending on the actuator.
What is the difference between VS and VSS?
VS valves use a bronze body rated 600 psig WOG with 600 psi close-off for standard hydronic service. VSS valves use a stainless steel body rated 1500 psig WOG (2000 on the 1/2") with a higher 1000 psi close-off and add NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 (lead-free) certification for higher-pressure and potable-water applications. This is a VS valve rated 600 psig WOG / 600 psi close-off.
