AV-601

Linkage Extension Kit

General Instructions

Application

The AV-601 linkage extension is required for all heating valves with MF-5X13, MP-541X, MP-551X, MPR-561X, MPR-571X, and MPR-581X actuators. It is recommended for cooling valves with MF-5X13, MP-541X, MP-551X, MPR-561X, MPR-571X, and MPR-581X actuators. It is also used for higher ambient and fluid temperatures with MA-521X or MP-521X actuators.

Features

•AV-601 provides thermal insulation between valve and actuator.

INSTALLATION

Inspection

Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products.

Requirements	• Tools (not provided):
	– Two (2) 3/8" wrenches
	– TOOL-19, 1/8" diameter rod
	– TOOL-20-1, Packing and linkage wrench
	– TOOL-37, 1-5/8" open-ended wrench (optional)
	– 6" or longer ruler
	• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician.

Caution:

•Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or vibration is 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.

•Always install three-way diverting valves with one inlet and two outlets.

•Do not install the actuator below the center line of the valve. For steam applications mount the actuators above the valve body at 45° from vertical.
