7. Suggested cylinder support methods when cylinder is mounted in horizontal or
off-vertical orientation
Cylinders require additional support when mounted in the other than vertical position. Failure to do
so could lead to premature failure of cylinder and/or valve. The following figures are suggestions;
specific details will have to be determined by customer so support best suits surrounding area.
It is important that the cylinder/gate alignment be maintained during valve operation. Supports
should be designed to maintain alignment and support bulk of cylinder weight.
CAUTION
Tie-rod mounted supports are not recommended on spring-style cylinder actuators.
