Installation
The valve is normally shipped as part of a control valve assembly, with the power actuator mounted on the valve. If the
valve or actuator have been purchased separately, or if the actuator has been removed for maintenance, mount the
actuator on the valve, and adjust actuator travel before inserting the valve body into the line. This is necessary due to
the measurements that must be made during the actuator calibration adjustment process. Refer to the Actuator
Mounting section of this manual to mount the actuator on the valve. Refer to the actuator instruction manual for
mounting and adjusting instructions before proceeding.
