The 

FlowCon Energy FIT System

 are avail-

able in different sizes and four different flanged 

models covering 8 different sizes:

  FlowCon SM.3 DN65-80 (2 1/2”-3”)

  FlowCon SM.4 DN80-100 (3”-4”)

  FlowCon SM.5 DN125-150 (5”-6”) 

  FlowCon SM.6 DN200-250 (8”-10”) 

O-rings are supplied with the valve body and are 

used to seal the connections. It is recommended 

to grease the O-rings with silicone grease. 

Please make sure these are properly placed 

in the O-ring grooves on valve inlet and outlet, 

before installing the housing. Please note that 

FlowCon SM.6 (DN200-250 / 8”-10”) contains two 

O-ring grooves. Use the inner groove for DN200 / 

8” flanges and outer groove for DN250 / 10” flanges. 

The 

actuator types

 FlowCon SM.0.0.0.3, 

SM.0.0.0.4, SM.0.0.0.5 and SM.0.0.0.6 are elec-

trical programmable actuators. SM.0.0.0.5 and 

.6 are BACnet actuators and have a supplemen-

tary instruction on BACnet connection and pro-

gramming. 

Fitting and Re-fitting the actuator

It is recommended to grease the O-ring on the 

spindle adaptor with silicone grease before plac-

ing the spindle adaptor on the valve spindle. 

 Then place the actuator on the spindle adaptor 

and place the three actuator “legs” into the three 

holes in the mounting bracket (figure 2 and 3). 

Make sure that the snap ring is clicked onto the 

mounting bracket, so that the snap ring is locked 

at the top of the mounting bracket, but still able to 

rotate. 

 Then finger-turn the snap ring counter 

clockwise (upside view) approximately 1/6 of a 

turn until its stop points touch the actuator “legs” 

and the mounting is lock with a (small) click. Do 

not use additional tools.
