SPECIFICATIONS

Table-1 Model Chart.

Temperature Restrictions

Verify that the fluid temperature of the media in the valve versus the ambient temperature at

the actuator does not exceed the ratings shown in Table-1.

Table-2 Restrictions on Maximum Ambient Temperature for Actuators.

Close-off Pressure Rating

Close-off pressure ratings are listed in Table-2 and Table-3. Check the appropriate table to

verify that the selected valve, valve linkage, and actuator provide adequate close-off

pressure for your application.

Required

Components

The actuator, valve, and valve linkage should be purchased separately. See Table-2 and

Table-3 for selections.

INSTALLATION

Inspection Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately.

If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return

damaged products.

Requirements • Tools (not provided):

– Appropriate wrenches for stem extensions, lock nuts, packing nuts, and brackets

– Appropriate screwdriver for actuator mounting screws

– TOOL-37, 1-5/8" open-ended wrench with a maximum thickness of 3/16"

• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician

Caution:

• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or vibration is present.

• Install all two-way valves so that they close against the flow. An arrow on the valve body

or a tag indicates the proper flow direction.

• Always install three-way mixing valves with two inlets and one outlet.

• Always install three-way diverting valves with one inlet and two outlets.

• The actuators can be mounted in any position above the centerline of the valve body.

For steam applications where the ambient temperature approaches the limit of the

actuator, the valve stem should be mounted 45° from vertical. When selecting a

location, allow sufficient room for accessories and for service of the product.
