Application
All
VGDxx.xxxU
valves
can
be
combined
with
any
SKPxx.xxxU
series
actuator.
The
actuator
can
be
mounted
while
the
valve
is
installed
and
under
pressure.
SKPxx.xxxU
regulating
actuators
are
applicable
for
both
low
and
high
supply
gas
pressure
applications,
eliminating
excessive
regulator
inventories.
Maximum
pressure
ratings
vary
with
valve
size
(see
Table
2
).
All
VGDxx.xxxU
valves
perform
these
functions
in
combination
with
each
of
the
following
actuators:
SKP15.xxxU
Safety
shut
‐
off
SKP25.xxxU
Safety
shut
‐
off
and
constant
pressure
regulation
or
zero
governor
SKP55.xxxU
Safety
shut
‐
off,
pressure
regulation
and
differential
pressure
air
‐
gas
ratio
control
SKP75.xxxU
Safety
shut
‐
off,
pressure
regulation
and
adjustable
air/gas
ratio
control
Since
more
than
one
function
can
be
performed
by
a
single
valve,
fewer
components
and
fittings
are
required
‐
significantly
reducing
both
the
size
and
weight
of
the
gas
train.
In
addition,
smaller
diameter
gas
valves
can
be
used.
For
details
on
valve
sizing
see
the
flow
chart
(figure
3).
CAUTION:
Do
not
oversize
valves
equipped
with
a
regulating
SKP2x.xxxU
/
SKP5x.xxxU
/
SKP7x.xxxU
actuator.
Oversizing
may
limit
turndown
and
could
cause
oscillations.
