Inspection
Requirements
Mounting
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.
• Piping diagrams.
• Tools (not provided): Appropriate wrenches for mounting bolts and adjustments.
• Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician or fitter.
• Make all connections in accordance with the piping diagram.
• Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, or vibration are present.
• The actuator 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.
The actuator may be shipped assembled to a valve body or as a separate component.
These instructions are intended for use where the actuator is to be installed to a linkage and
valve body, as a replacement unit, or when the actuator must be removed during valve
installation.
