Issue
How do I select an actuator and valve combination?
Environment
- Actuator
- Valve
Cause
Select the correct actuator and valve part numbers.
Resolution
- Refer to the TAC Catalog F-27414-*. Read the section on valve part numbers. Select the valve body needed.
- Refer to Catalog F-27382-*. Read through the actuator selection for MA, MC, MF, MK, MM, Mp, and MS to identify the desired actuator.
- Refer to TAC Catalog F-27414-*. find the page with the chosen actuator valve combination. Verify from the close off table that the actuator will meet the valve performance requirements.
- Turn to the actuator assembly code table and select the assembly code needed to complete the valve assembly number. ie: Vx-XXXX-XXX-X-XX.
- Order valve.
- If valve is not available as a factory assembly, order the individual parts and field assemble. The valve close off table provides the correct linkage kit required to couple the actuator and valve body, not all actuators require linkage kits.
