INSTALLAION OF THE ACTUATOR ONTO A VALVE
Move the valve to the full open position. Use the handwheel to move the actuator to the full open position
(verify with the local mechanical indicator) while checking that the rotation direction of actuator matches that
of the valve. The actuator should be mounted for counter-clockwise rotation to open and clockwise to close.
WARNING: Never lift the valve/actuator assembly without securing slings to both the valve and
the actuator.
The actuator can be installed onto the valve in two (2) different ways:
Direct Mounting:
Insert the valve shaft into the actuator bottom flange utilizing the proper
insert. Secure the actuator to the valve using the correct bolting.
Bracket Mounting:
Install the bracket and the adapter onto the valve then insert the valve shaft
into the actuator bottom flange, utilizing the correct insert. Secure the
actuator to the bracket using the correct bolting.
