To Install and Remove Actuator
INSTALLING ACTUATOR ON VU-SERIES VALVE BODY
ASSEMBLY
1. Orient slot in shaft of VU-series valve body toward
notch in side of body (i.e. 90° to water flow.) See
Fig.2. This lifts the ball off seat, prevents damage to the
ball seal while soldering, and makes actuator attach-
ment easier.
2. Install valve body into pipe.
3. Wiring connections may be made either before or after
the actuator is installed on the valve body.
4. Place manual operating lever on the actuator in the
MAN. OPEN position.
5. Line up motor coupling to slot in shaft of body and fit the
head onto the valve body, ensuring that the shaft seats
correctly. (See Fig. 2).
6. Snap actuator onto body by pressing down.
7. Make wiring connections. Refer to wiring section for
proper instructions.
Inspect the actuator installation and the valve body to ensure
that all connections and adjustments have been correctly
made. Adjust the thermostat or controller connected to the
valve so that the valve runs through its cycle. Make sure the
valve runs smoothly and positively from closed to open to
closed again.
