Mounting and
Installation
Install the valve so that the flow follows the
direction of the arrow cast on the valve
body.
For added flexibility, the actuator mounting
plate can be installed in any of the four (4)
rotation angles relative to the valve body.
For best performance, install the valve
assembly with the actuator above the
valve body.
The valve and actuator assembly can be
installed in a horizontal pipe in any position
between vertical and 90°.
The ball valve also can be installed
vertically.
CAUTION:
Do not install the valve assembly
so that the actuator is below
horizontal or upside-down.
