The Belimo B249VSS+GMX24-MFT-X1 pairs the B249VSS 2" characterized control ball valve (VSS) with a factory-mounted non-spring return valve actuator. It delivers a Cv of 108 (about 216 GPM of water at a 4 psi drop, ASHRAE standard), 1000 psi close-off, and a 1500 psig WOG stainless steel body with an NPT female 2" connection, and is NSF/ANSI 61 (drinking water) and NSF/ANSI 372 (lead-free) certified for potable-water service. Equal-percentage flow gives precise, repeatable modulating control across the full stroke.
Specifications per the Belimo B249VSS 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 B249VSS is a VSS stainless steel-body valve with an NPT female 2" connection, 1500 psig WOG body rating, 1000 psi close-off, and equal-percentage flow, shipped factory-assembled and tested with the GMX24-MFT-X1 actuator as a matched, ready-to-wire unit. The VSS variant steps up from the bronze VS to a <strong>stainless steel body rated 1500 psig WOG</strong> with a higher <strong>1000 psi close-off</strong>, and adds NSF/ANSI 61 (drinking water) and NSF/ANSI 372 (lead-free) certification for lead-free, potable-water service — built for higher-pressure and higher-spec applications.
Best for
- 2" 2-way chilled-water and hot-water control in fan-coil units, reheat coils, and zone hydronic loops
- Applications needing tight 1000 psi close-off and precise modulating control
- Higher-pressure or NSF-certified potable-water service (stainless, lead-free)
- Factory-assembled valve and actuator — no field coupling or mounting guesswork

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this valve come with the actuator attached?
Yes. The B249VSS+GMX24-MFT-X1 ships as a factory-assembled, tested valve-and-actuator unit. The GMX24-MFT-X1 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?
1000 psi (∆ps) on water, giving dependable shutoff in VSS hydronic systems.
How many GPM will this valve flow?
With a Cv of 108, it passes about 216 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 108 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 VSS valve rated 1500 psig WOG / 1000 psi close-off.
