1. Loosen existing valve mounting screws (two per valve) by turning counter-clockwise and
remove valve vertical to the top.
2. Ensure valve body gasket is fitted on the bottom of the new valve. Place new valve onto the
modular sub-base aligned to the interface. Use plug-in connection as positioning point.
3. VS26 only: Orientate straight flange of the U-washers towards the outer edge of the valve.
4. Tighten valve mounting screws (two per valve) with the specified torque. If you are using a
power screwdriver consider the maximum speed allowed.

Note:
To avoid failures and/or use of valves with not allowed specification, you have to make sure that
the voltage of the new valve complies to the old one.
When changing valves or accessories (valve function, sandwich plate, etc.) on a valve island,
the part number on the label will no longer correspond to the configuration. If you order the
valve island based on the Norgren part number, the original configuration will be delivered.
