Cylinder Stroke Adjustment
The adjusting set screw (C21) in the cylinder acts as the cylinder stroke adjustment. Adjust this
adjusting screw (C21) so that the actuator does not pull the gate off the seat ring when the valve is fully
opened.
To adjust the closed position:
1.
Close the valve.
2.
Turn the clip into the piston rod (C14) until the cylinder has a minimum of 1/16” stroke remaining and
tighten jam nut.
3.
Open the valve and adjust the adjusting screw (C21) until the gate is clear of the flow port but fully on
the seat ring. Tighten Jam nut (C22).
