1/2 to 2-Inch Valve (2-Way & 3-Way)
and Actuator Assembly Selection
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description
This Technical Bulletin will aid in selecting a 1/2-inch to 2-inch Flowrite 599 Series
valve and actuator assembly. Begin with the graph of water capacity and the chart of
ANSI Class IV close-off pressures to select a valve and actuator according to
specifications.
Use Tables 1 through 15 to identify two-way valve and actuator product numbers. Use
Tables 16 through 18 to identify three-way valve and actuator product numbers. These
tables show all the possible combinations of the 1/2-inch to 2-inch Flowrite 599 Series
valves and compatible actuators that can be ordered as complete valve assemblies
from the factory.
The dimensions of all 1/2-inch to 2-inch valves and the service envelope required for
each actuator are included in Table 19 through Table 21.
How to Use the
Selection Graphs
Use Figure 1, the Water Capacity graph, to select a valve. Locate the specified flow
rate on the vertical axis. Follow across on the horizontal line to the point of intersection
with the specified pressure drop. Choose the valve size from the heavy diagonal lines
across the graph.
Use Figure 2, the Close-Off Pressure graph, to select an actuator. First locate the
graph for the valve action and actuator power source specified. Locate the bar that
represents the valve line size. The top of the bar indicates the maximum close-off
pressure for tight close-off ANSI Class IV. Use the legend at the bottom of the graph to
identify the actuator.
How To Use The
Valve Tables
Tables have been organized to help select a valve and actuator combination using
additional specifications.
Moving from left to right, identify the valve needed. Continue to the right to match the
valve to a desired actuator.
A valve and actuator assembly part number is determined by combining the actuator
prefix code with the suffix of the valve product number.
NOTES:
No valve will combine with all actuators.
The symbol “” indicates a combination is not available.
