Solenoid valve mounting
Before mounting a solenoid valve, ensure that the
actuator is in it’s normal position (closed position) with
pistons inwards.
For standard rotation type “ST” (clockwise to close)
assembly: the groove on the drive shaft or on the
position indicator (2) must be horizontal to the
longitudinal axis of the actuator in the closed position.
Fit the solenoid valve (4) onto the actuator (3) using the
provided screws (max. tightening torque see Table 1).
Switchbox mounting
Fit the switchbox and bracket (1) onto the actuator (3)
using four screws provided (max. tightening torque see
Table 1).
Before proceeding with the assembly of the actuator
onto the valve, be sure that the actuator operates in
the desired direction of rotation when pressurised
and both actuator/valve are in the correct position.
It is important to note when using a spring return
actuator for a fail safe operation, ensure that when
air or electricity failure occurs the direction of
rotation is correct for your application.
Fit the actuator (3) onto the valve (5). It is possible to
assemble the valve onto the actuator in two ways:
Direct-mount: fit the stem of the valve (5) directly
onto the female connection of the actuator (3) and
bolt together through the valve ISO pad (max.
tightening torque see Table 1).
Bracket-mount: mounting with a bracket (6) and
coupling (7), the bracket is bolted to the actuator/valve
to join them together and the coupling is used to
connect the actuator output drive to the valve stem
(max. tightening torque see Table 1).
