Johnson Controls VA9104-GGA-3S Actuator Els PW 29614 The bleed resistor is aThe Johnson Controls VA9104 GGA 3S is a non spring return direct coupled ball valve actuator engineered for precise proportional control in commercial HVAC and building automation systems. Operating on 24 VAC power, this unit delivers a consistent 35 lb in torque, making it a reliable choice for driving VG1000 series ball valves. The actuator is field configurable for multiple control signals, including 0 10 VDC, 2 10 VDC, and, with the included 500
