APPLICATION
The AV-495 linkage is used to field install MK-68X1series of
actuators 2-1/2" to 4" VB-9213, VB-9223 and VB-9313
Schneider Electric valve bodies. Table-1 provides a list of
actuators and valves compatible with AV-495 and details
resulting close-off pressure.
PRE-INSTALLATION
Inspection
Visually inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify
the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the
package and visually inspect the device for obvious defects.
Return damaged or defective products.

Max. Ambient Temperature in
°F (°C) of MK-6801, MK-6811
or MK-6821
INSTALLATION
Consult Table-1 to make sure the valve selected is compatible
with AV-495 valve linkage and the actuator. Verify that the
close-off pressure shown in Table-1 is adequate for the
application. Verify that fluid temperature of the media in the
valve versus the ambient temperature at the actuator do not
exceed the ratings shown in Table-2.
Caution:
• Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician
• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive
fumes or vibration are present.
• Install all two-way valves so that they close against the
flow. An arrow on the valve body or a tag indicates the
proper flow direction.
• Always install three-way mixing valves with two inlets and
one outlet.
• The actuators can be mounted in any position above the
centerline of the valve body. When selecting a location,
allow sufficient room for accessories and for service of
the product.

Close-off pressure for 3-way valves:
SU is “A” port close-off and is based on pressure at “A” port minus pressure at “B” port.
SD is “B” port close -off and is based on pressure at “B” port minus pressure at “A” port.
SU = Stem up position of valve.
SD = Stem down position of valve.
