Precautions
WARNING:
• All procedures must be performed by qualified personnel.
• When the process fluid is hazardous, thermal (hot or cold), or corrosive, take extra precautions.
Employ the appropriate safety devices and be prepared to control a process media leak.
• Always wear protective clothing and equipment to safeguard the eyes, face, hands, skin, and lungs
from the particular fluid in the line.
CAUTION:
• Disconnect electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power before servicing actuator or automation
components.
Install the valve and topworks
NOTICE:
The topworks size and configuration can limit the actual operating pressure. Consult the engineering
catalog for topworks sizing. Consult the factory or engineering catalog for vacuum operation.
Consider the following information before installing the actuator:
• The series 3, 5, 8, or 16 stainless steel bonnet Advantage actuator 2.0 can have the air inlets positioned
in any quadrant.
• The maximum valve operating pressure is 150 psig (10.34 bar). This pressure is applicable up to 100º
F (38º C). Valves at maximum pressure cannot be used at maximum temperatures.

Installation
Replace the valve diaphragm
1. Disassemble the valve.
For more information, see Disassemble the valve in this manual.
2. If the actuator mode of operation is fail open, pressurize the actuator by applying air to the upper
cover, slightly extending the compressor and diaphragm.
3. Unscrew the diaphragm from the compressor by turning the diaphragm counterclockwise.
The replacement diaphragm should be identical in size and grade to the original diaphragm.
4. Insert the tube nut by sliding the flat end into the actuator spindle so that it rests flush in the slot.
5. Put the compressor over top of the tube nut.
6. If replacing a PTFE diaphragm, follow these steps.
a) Install the new elastomer backing cushion over the tube nut.
b) Invert the PTFE diaphragm by pressing the center of the diaphragm face with your thumbs while
holding the edge of the diaphragm with your fingers.
c) Engage the threads of the diaphragm into the tube nut by rotating clockwise.
d) Continue rotating the PTFE diaphragm clockwise into the compressor while securing the backing
cushion from rotating.

7. Rotate the diaphragm until hard stop or heavy resistance is achieved and additional force does not
significantly rotate the diaphragm into the compressor.
8. If replacing a PTFE diaphragm, re-invert the diaphragm.

1. Connect the air line to the lower air cover.
2. Load the chamber with sufficient air to move the diaphragm upward until
the back of diaphragm is flat against the bonnet. Do not apply excessive
air pressure that results in inversion of the diaphragm.

For more information, see Tighten the bonnet fasteners in this manual.
Tighten the bonnet fasteners
CAUTION:
Do not tighten fasteners while the system is pressurized or at elevated temperatures (greater than 100°F
(38°C)).
1. Depressurize the system.
2. Use regulated air pressure to position diaphragm so that valve is slightly open.
You may need to use air pressure to actuate the valve.
3. Tighten the bonnet fasteners in a crisscross pattern.

Guidelines
• Minimum values given will provide a longer diaphragm cycle life for valves in non-autoclave and low
thermal cycle conditions.
• Maximum values given may be necessary for autoclave conditions and for high thermal cycle
conditions.
• Torques should be applied at near ambient conditions (less than 100ºF (38ºC)).

Maximum permitted air supply pressure

Actuator pressure rating
The actuator will withstand pressures well in excess of the rated pressure without risk of bursting.
Maintaining operating pressure at or below the pressure rating will ensure optimum life of the operating
components, such as the actuator diaphragm. However, operation at pressures up to 100 psig (6.9 bar), for
limited periods of time, will not noticeably affect the life of these components.
