MAINTENANCE
TYPE 15 AND 25 ACTUATOR
INTRODUCTION
This actuator is a spring return diaphragm unit designed to utilizes a diaphragm for reduced
friction. It can be completely disassembled and rebuilt using Tri-Clover Replacement parts.
Installation, maintenance, disassembly, and assembly instructions are covered below.
INSTALLATION
Connect air supply to coupler. Air Supply Specifications: 35 - 50 psig (Normal)
DIAPHRAGM REPLACEMENT
The diaphragm can rupture. When it fails air will leak from the actuator vent plug. Follow the
disassembly and assembly instructions below.
IMPORTANT: The bushing and packing must be replaced if a diaphragm fails.
BUSHING/PACKING REMOVAL
The valve end contains one bushing and packing identical to Type 10, 20, and 30 actuators.
They are located on the valve end of the actuator.
1
Disassemble the actuator from the valve completely.
2
Assemble the yoke to the actuator without the green bushing retainer. Assemble the valve
stem to the actuator stem.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, DO NOT attempt to remove the
packing and bushing without the valve stem threaded onto
the actuator stem. The stem is required because the
packing and bushing will be forced out of the actuator
under air pressure and will be trapped by the valve stem.
3.
Apply 60 psig to the yoke. The packing and bushing will be forced out which will result in an
air leak. Remove air supply once the bushing and packing are forced are forced out.
4.
Remove the valve stem and yoke.
BUSHING / PACKING REPLACEMENT, NYLON LOCK REPLACEMENT AND LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: The TYPE 15/25 actuator does not have a red indicating cap like the type 10, 20
or 30 actuator. Cover the actuator stem threads with tape to protect the new bushing and
packing from damage during assembly. See TYPE 10, 20, AND 30 ACTUATOR
MAINTENANCE.
