Application
These valve actuators, with an 11 sq. in. (71 cm2) effective
diaphragm area, are used with VB-7xxx series valves for
proportional pneumatic control of hot water or chilled water
valves.
The MK-46xx Series may also be mounted on discontinued
1/2" through 1-1/4" TAC
VB-111, VB-131, VB-314, and VB-9xxx series valves.
