Description 

The Powermite 599 MT Series SSC81U and SSC81.5U electronic valve actuators 
require a 24 Vac supply to provide a floating control signal. These actuators control 
Powermite 599 MT Series valves with a 7/32-inch (5.5 mm) stroke and a threaded 
valve bonnet that fits the actuators.  

Features 

  UL listed for plenum installations 

  Direct-coupled installation without special tools (hand-tightened) 

 Manual 

override 

  Visual position indication 

Application 

The Powermite 599 Series MT Series SSC81 electronic actuators and MT Series 
valves are used in heating and cooling applications. They are used in liquid and steam 
applications that require an actuator. The SSC81 series accepts plenum cable or 3/8-
inch flex conduit connection.
