On-Off Fluid Power

Gas Valve Actuator

The V4055 Gas Valve Actuator in combination
with a V5055 Gas Valve controls the gas supply to
commercial and industrial burners.

V4055A,B,D,E

■ The V4055 Actuator, when used with the V5034 or

V5055 Valve, is rated for final safety shutoff service.

■ The V4055 Actuator may be used with the character-

ized guide model of the V5055 gas valve to enhance

lightoff smoothness.

■ The standard model has an opening time of 26 sec at

60 Hz, or 32 sec at 50 Hz. A fast-opening model, is

available with timings of 13 sec at 60 Hz, or 16 sec at

50 Hz.

■ Maximum closing time is 1 sec, which meets code/

standard/insurer requirements.

■ Models with damper shaft available, with or without

spring return; shaft extends out both sides and rides

in Teflon-like, Delrin bushings; used with standard

7616BR Damper Crank Arm.

■ Red OPEN indicator attached to the actuator stem

shows when valve is even slightly open; yellow

SHUT indicator on valve stem shows only when gas

valve is fully closed.

■ Ambient temperature rating is -40°F to 150°F
[-40°C to 66°C] for 60 Hz models; -10°F to 158°F
[-23°C to 70°C] for 50 Hz and 50/60 Hz models.

■ Valve and actuator combination may be mounted in
any position.

■ Models available with factory installed SPDT field
adjustable auxiliary switch. Field addable auxiliary
switch kits are also available.

■ Standard enclosure meets NEMA 1 general purpose
requirements; models available with NEMA 4
weather proof enclosure.

■ V4055D and high pressure V4055E with proof-of­closure switch and V5055C or E with valve seal
overtravel interlock (double seal) to meet specific
code/standard/insurer requirements.

NOMINAL OPENING TIME (SECONDS):

V4055A actuator with V5055 gas valves provide on-off

control of fuel. With proper adapter (see Accessories),

it replaces the V4034 actuator on a V5034 gas valve.
V4055B is a high pressure model of the V4055A.
V4055D is identical to the V4055A but incorporates a

proof-of-closure switch. Used with V5055C (double

seal) for valve seal overtravel interlock.
V4055E is identical to V4055B but incorporates a proof-

of-closure switch. Used with V5055E (double seal)

for valve seal overtravel interlock.

WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT . . .

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced, flame safe­guard control technician.

4. After installation is complete, check out product op­eration as provided in these instructions.

60-2309—8 4

Installation

CAUTION

1. Disconnect power supply before making wiring
connections to prevent electrical shock and
equipment damage.

2. Voltage and frequency of the power supply
connected to this control must agree with those
marked on the device.

3. Maximum total connected load to both switches
(if used) must not exceed 1800 VA.

V4055A,B,D,E

INSTALLATION

INSTALL VALVE

The actuator is mounted directly on the valve bonnet
after the valve is installed in the gas supply line. Refer to the
instructions packed with the gas valve for installation de­tails. When installing the valve, assure that:

1. Sufficient clearance is left for installation and service

of the actuator.

2. Ambient temperatures at the valve location will re-

main within -40° to 150°F [-40°C to 66°C] or -10°F to 158°F
[-23°C to 70°C] (see Specifications section).

3. Position of the valve permits hookup to the damper if

one is controlled.

INSTALL ACCESSORY SWITCHES (IF NEEDED)

A spdt auxiliary switch may be installed to operate a
load up to 1/2 hp [0.37 kW]. The switch may be adjusted to
operate at any point in the valve stroke.

A proof-of-closure switch may also be installed on any
V4055 actuator to provide a valve seal overtravel interlock
when used with a V5055C or E valve (with double seal).

The spdt proof-of-closure switch is installed to make or
break a circuit when the valve is in the closed position. The
switch is not adjustable.

NOTE: Mark the actuator or valve to indicate any changes

made.

4. Insert the proof-of-closure switch in the position shown
in Fig. 2. The switch mounts against the side of the actuator
housing. The mounting holes are spaced to mount the switch
only in the correct position. Fasten with two screws through
the actuator base. The proof-of-closure switch is not adjust­able.

5. If only one switch is used, install the narrow barrier
included with the switch in the unused space.

6. Mount the actuator before making wiring connections
and adjustments to the auxiliary switch.

MOUNT ACTUATOR ON VALVE

Check the final position of the valve body to be sure that
the actuator will be in the proper position when mounted on
the valve. This is especially important if the actuator is used
to drive a damper.

If two smaller sized valves are mounted very closely
together, as in an Industrial Risk Insurers type valve train, it
may be necessary to mount the actuator off center to
provide adequate clearance.

Slip the bottom collar of the actuator over the valve
bonnet assembly. Rotate the actuator to the desired posi­tion and use a 5/32 inch Allen wrench to securely tighten
the two set screws. (50 to 60 lb/in [5.7 to 6.8 Nm]).

Connect the damper linkage, if used. Refer to the in­structions packed with the damper arm.

To install the switches, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the actuator faceplate (two screws).

2. Remove the sliver-colored barrier to expose the actua-

tor stem.

3. Insert the auxiliary switch in the position indicated in

Fig. 2. Fasten with two screws through the actuator base.

TO REPLACE A V4034 ACTUATOR ON A V5034
VALVE

IMPORTANT: When replacing a standard (26 sec) V4034

actuator on a V5034 Valve, check the main burner
flame-establishing period (MFEP) of the burner pri­mary safety control. If the MFEP is 10 sec, you must
use a fast-opening (13 sec) V4055 Actuator on the
older V5034 Valve.

The initial action of the V4055 Actuator does not
immediately open the V5034 Valve because of a differ­ence in stroke length. The pilot may be shut off before
the main burner flame is established. The fast-opening
V4055 Actuator will open the V5034 Valve fast enough
to establish the main burner flame within the ten
second flame-establishing period.

If it is desirable to maintain the slower opening
characteristic of the standard V4034 Actuator, both
the V4034 Actuator and V5034 Valve should be re­placed. Use a standard V4055 Actuator on a V5055
Valve.

Select the correct adapter, depending on whether the
V5034 has a long or short stem (Fig. 3). Fasten the adapter
to the V5034 Valve bonnet, and then mount the actuator on
the adapter. Follow the instructions for mounting the actua­tor on the valve.

If the V4034 being replaced is equipped with a heater,
there will be a low limit control connected in series with the
V4034 power supply to prevent actuator operation below
25°F [-4°C]. There will also be a constant source of the line
voltage power to the heater and its control thermostat.

WIRING

Disconnect power supply before making electrical con-

nections to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.

Wiring must comply with all applicable electrical codes,
ordinances, and regulations. Wiring to the actuator must be
NEC Class 1.

Connect the power supply to terminals 1 and 2 on the
V4055 terminal strip. Refer to Fig. 6 for auxiliary switch
connections. For typical system hookups, refer to Fig. 7
and to instructions packed with device used to control
valve.

When all wiring connections are complete, replace the
actuator faceplate.

CAUTION

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servic­ing values.Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

MOUNT AND ADJUST 7616BR DAMPER CRANK
ARM (IF USED)

IMPORTANT: When a damper crank arm is used with a

NEMA 4 actuator that is exposed to ice or sleet, a
suitable shield must be installed to prevent ice or sleet
buildup.

Follow installation and adjustment directions included
with damper crank arm. Maximum pushrod travel is 2-5/16
in. [58.7 mm] through a stroke of 52 degrees. See Fig. 5.

60-2309—8 6

NOTE: Pipe sealant is required on the conduit threads of

actuators with NEMA 4 enclosures.

ADJUST THE AUXILIARY SWITCH (IF USED)

The auxiliary switch is adjustable throughout the stroke
of the actuator. With the switch installed in the actuator,
turn the adjusting screw (Fig. 2) clockwise to cause
the switch to operate earlier in the stroke or counterclock­wise to cause the switch to operate later in the stroke.

NOTE: The proof-of-closure switch is not adjustable.
