Issue
Actuator M44 is no longer available (withdrawn in 2000) and needs a replacement.
Environment
M44
M9B
EM9
Forta
Cause
Depending on application, since the M44 was used for both rotating and sliding valves, a few different replacement actuators could be used.
Resolution
For valves with rotating stem, (TRV, VTRA, VTRE and STMG), actuators M9/EM9 can be used.
For valves with linear moving stems the TAC Forta series actuator is used.
