The difference between the Siemens 2 port Globe valves VVG41 and VVG44 valves lies primarily in their control type and intended application. Here’s a breakdown:


VVG41 – 2-Way Control Valve (Standard Range)

  • Type: 2-way valve
  • Control: Typically on/off or floating control
  • Operation: Designed for use with thermal or electro-mechanical actuators
  • Application: General HVAC water systems – chilled or heating water
  • Connection: Internally threaded (usually Rp thread)
  • Body Material: Often bronze or brass
  • DN Sizes: Commonly DN15 to DN50
  • Pressure Rating: PN16 or similar

VVG44 – 2-Way Control Valve (High-Performance Range)

  • Type: 2-way valve
  • Control: Designed for modulating control
  • Operation: Paired with electronic modulating actuators (e.g., SAX, SKD/SKP)
  • Application: More precise flow control needed – typically used in systems requiring accurate temperature regulation
  • Connection: Also usually internally threaded
  • Body Material: Higher-grade materials (often bronze or special alloys)
  • Flow Characteristic: Often equal percentage
  • Pressure Rating: Higher precision, may have tighter leakage rates and stroke tolerances
