The black spring used on a normally open valves may eliminate the need for positive positioning actuators.
d
PNV-145-48 Blue spring is not part of this kit. It is only required for controllers limited to 10 volts or 20 mA maximums.
e
Used with signals limited to 10V such as 0 to 10 Vdc and 4 to 20 mA across a 500 Ohm resistor. Note a reduced control range.
f
The small unpainted spring may be added to provide addition close off.
Verify that temperature of the media in the valve versus the ambient temperature at the
actuator does not exceed the ratings shown in

It
is required for all heating valves with MF-5x13, MP-541x, MP-551x, MPR-561x,

INSTALLATION
InspectionInspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately.
If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return any
damaged products.
Requirements• Tools:
– Screwdriver appropriate for slotted spring compression screw (not provided)
– Linkage wrench (provided) or TOOL-20-1, packing and linkage wrench (not
provided)
• 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.
• The actuator must be above the center line of the valve. For steam applications mount
the actuators above the valve body at 45° from vertical.
Linkage Kit
Installation
The AV-7600-1 linkage kit used on VB-7xxx series valve bodies requires no stem height
setting.
Procedure
The linkage kit is assembled onto the VB-7xxx valve body with the stem in the up position.
1. Select the appropriate spring(s) as detailed in Figure-1.
2. Thread the hexagon coupler onto the valve stem all the way to the bottom of the stem
thread, finger-tight (Figure-1). Pull the valve stem completely up.
Spring Retainer
(Turn 45 degrees to
lock in place.)
Turn until Spring Compression
Screw bottoms firmly on
valve stem.
Figure-2 Completing Linkage Kit Assembly to Valve.
Caution: The hexagon coupler must reach to within 1/16” (1.6 mm) of the smooth section
of the stem to assure proper seating. Do not use the Spring Compression Screw to run the
Hexagon Coupler down.
3. On normally closed valves (1-1/2” [40 mm] to 2” [50 mm] mandatory) slip the small
unpainted booster spring over the stem.
4. Start the spring(s) compression screw one turn or more into the hexagon coupler.
5. Slip the spring over the coupler and the spring compression screw.
6. Place the retainer over the screw. Twist the retainer 45° to lock it in place.
7. Insert the linkage wrench (supplied with kit, also included on TOOL-20-1) through the
spring coils about 3 coils from the bottom to hold hexagon coupler.
8. Hold the wrench from turning and tighten the spring compression screw. To establish
proper linkage height, run the spring compression screw down until the screw end
bottoms firmly on the stem top (
Individual parts of the actuator linkage are not repairable. Replace an inoperative actuator
linkage with a functional unit or replace individual parts as necessary (
