Inspection
Inspect package for damage. If damaged, notify carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect for obvious
damage. Return damaged products.
Inspect the hardware package included with the linkage to make sure all required clamps (4), clamp blocks (4), stem lock nuts (2),
and anti-rotation studs (six, two factory assembled to linkage) are included. See Figure-1. Not all parts will be needed for every
installation.
Requirements
•
Training: Installer must be a qualied, experienced technician.
• Tools (not provided):
– Appropriate wrenches for anti-rotation studs, stem extensions, packing nuts, and bracket nuts
– 10 mm socket wrench (for shaft clamp nuts on Mx40-717x, Mx41-707x, Mx41-715x)
– 1/2” nut driver and 1/2” open end wrench (for all except Mx41-634x, Mx40-717x)
– Measuring scale graduated in 1/32” increments
– Torque wrench, range to include 90 to 120 lb-in. (7.5 to 10 lb-ft, 10 to 14 N-m)
– Pipe wrenches, two
– 11/16” open-end wrench for jam nuts, two
– Vise grip or pliers
– Appropriate power supply (see the applicable actuator General Instructions sheet for power requirements)
Warning: Electrical shock hazard! Contact with live circuits can result in severe injury or death.
• Disconnect the power supply (line power) at the breaker or fuse before and during installation to prevent
Schneider Electric
F- 27479 -3 April 2014
electric shock and equipment damage.
• Make all connections in accordance with the wiring diagram and in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. Use copper conductors only.
Failure to observe these warnings can result in severe injury or death and can damage the equipment.

General Installation
Schneider Electric globe valve rack and pinion linkages are provided as complete assemblies. The following pages contain
instructions for installing the AV-607-1 and AV-609-1 linkages. Either a single actuator or dual actuators may be installed using these
instructions.
Note: When installing dual actuators:
• Both actuators must be the same model.
• Actuators must be mounted and adjusted so as to rotate and spring return (if applicable) in the same direction. Refer to the
mounting instructions and Table- through Table-x.
• Refer to the applicable actuator literature for actuator wiring information.
• Only use the actuator and linkage combinations that are shown on Table 1. Linkage or valve damage could result if a in
correct combination is applied.
• Do not attempt to use the actuator manual override feature with two actuators clamped to the same shaft. Damage and
improper operation can occur. Using manual override to set individual actuator preload before installation on the linkage is
permissable.
Mounting Actuator and Linkage to Valve Body
Process Overview
This mounting procedure consists of two sections:
• Section A. Mounting Linkage to Valve
– A1. Select and install anti-rotation studs.
– A2. VB-9xxx and VB-8xx3 (2-way and 3-way) valves and appropriate actuator types, follow the instructions in this section
to assemble the linkage to the valve
• Section B. Actuator Mounting and Setup
In this section, choose the subsection that is appropriate for the specic actuator type and valve type, to mount the actuator
and adjust the linkage:
– B1. Spring Return Actuators with Manual Override 2-Way Valves and 3-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem Up)
– B2. Spring Return Actuators with Manual Override 2-Way Valves and 3-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem Down)
– B3. Non-Spring Return Actuator with Manual Override VB-8213 and VB-921x 2-Way Valves (Valve Stem Up, Open) VB-
8223 and VB-922x 2-Way Valves (Valve Stem Up, Closed) VB-8303 and VB-931x 3-Way Valves (Valve Stem Up, Port A
Closed)
– B4. Spring Return Actuators without Manual Override VB-8223, VB-922x 2-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem
Up, Closed) VB-8303, VB-931x 3-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem Up, Port A Closed)
– B5. Spring-Return Actuators without Manual Override VB-8213, VB-921x 2-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem
Down, Closed) VB-8303, VB-931x 3-Way Valves (Normal Position — Valve Stem Down, Port B Closed)
The linkage is assembled to the valve according to Section A. Refer to Table-1, below, to determine the remainder of the assembly
path for a specic actuator and valve.

1 Thread the spanner nut onto the
bonnet, and then place the spacer
(provided with the AV-607-1 and
AV-609-1) on top of the spanner nut.
2 Thread the two jam nuts (provided
with the AV-607-1 and AV-609-1) onto
the valve stem. Adjust the spanner
nut and jam nuts to the height shown.
3 Tighten the two jam
nuts against each
other, using two 11/16"
open-end wrenches.

5 Turn the entire linkage to
partially thread the rack
onto the valve stem.
7 Orient the linkage on the
valve as desired by rotating
the linkage up to one turn
6 Thread the entire linkage
onto the bonnet until it
contacts the spacer.
8 Tighten the spanner nut against
the spacer.
9 Tighten the jam nuts against the
rack, using an 11/16" open-end
wrench on the lower jam nut.
Note: The valve stem will rotate
with the jam nuts.

Section A. Mounting Linkage to Valve
A1. Select and Install Anti-Rotation Studs.
Based on the actuator(s) being used, select the appropriate anti-rotation studs using Figure-.
Two NYBA-161 anti-rotation studs (for Mx4x-707x and Mx4x-715x actuators) are shipped factory assembled to each side of
the linkage. If NYBA-148 or NYBA-206 are required, remove the two factory-installed anti-rotation studs one at a time and
replace them with the required studs. Hand tighten the stud in the linkage frame slot and slide down to provide clearance for
actuator installation (see Figure-2 below).
