Mounting procedure QT50
Mount the QT50 in the following way:
1.
Apply multi-purpose corrosion protection grease (kind suited for the
materials) on the valve spindle to ease mounting and avoid corrosion.
2.
Make sure that the valve and actuator are placed in the same position
(closed). See figure 13.

Lift the actuator onto the valve; align its valve adapter with the valve spindle
and lower the actuator onto the valve flange.
4.
Ensure that the spindle and valve mounting holes fit directly to the actuator.
