INSTALLATION

When Installing this Product...

1.

Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them 

could damage the product or cause a hazardous condi-

tion.

2.

Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the 

product to make sure the product is suitable for your 

application.

3.

Installer must be a trained, experienced service techni-

cian.

4.

After installation is complete, check out product opera-

tion as provided in these instructions.

CAUTION

1.

Disconnect power supply before connecting wir-

ing to prevent electrical shock of equipment dam-

age.

2.

On 24V systems, never jumper the valve coil ter-

minals even temporarily. This can burn out the 

heat anticipator in the thermostat.

To Install and Remove Actuator

INSTALLING ACTUATOR ON VU-SERIES VALVE BODY 
ASSEMBLY

1.

Orient slot in shaft of VU-series valve body toward 

notch in side of body (i.e. 90° to water flow.) See 

Fig.2.

 This lifts the ball off seat, prevents damage to the 

ball seal while soldering, and makes actuator attach-

ment easier.

2.

Install valve body into pipe.

3.

Wiring connections may be made either before or after 

the actuator is installed on the valve body.

4. Place manual operating lever on the actuator in the 

MAN. OPEN position.

5.

Line up motor coupling to slot in shaft of body and fit the 

head onto the valve body, ensuring that the shaft seats 

correctly. (See Fig. 2).

6.

Snap actuator onto body by pressing down.

7.

Make wiring connections. Refer to wiring section for 

proper instructions.

Inspect the actuator installation and the valve body to ensure 

that all connections and adjustments have been correctly 

made. Adjust the thermostat or controller connected to the 

valve so that the valve runs through its cycle. Make sure the 

valve runs smoothly and positively from closed to open to 

closed again.
