Issue

The Drayton Theta YBL1 Valve Body / Actuator assembly is to be replaced.

Environment

  • Replacement
  • Drayton
  • Actuator
  • Valve
  • YBL1

Cause

The Drayton Theta YBL1 Valve Body / Actuator assembly is obsolete.

Resolution

OVERVIEW

The Drayton Theta YBL1 Valve Body / Actuator assembly is obsolete, and there is no purpose built replacement.

The Valve Body was available in 1.1/4", 1.1/2" and 2" B.S.P. sizes and was normally installed as a mixing valve in variable temperature, constant volume, compensated heating circuits.

No Valve Body / Actuator assemblies are currently available in these sizes.

Details of the YB Valve Body may be viewed here.

 

VALVE BODY REPLACEMENT

To replace the YBL1 Valve Body the following is required:-

S-E SatchwellMB Valve Body of appropriate size - MB1552 (1.1/4"), MB1602 (1.1/2"), MB1652 (2")

Details of the MB Valve Body may be viewed here.

 

ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT (6-WIRE INSTALLATION)

The YBL1 Actuator normally comprised a 6-wire electrical connection enabling it to be operated by a Theta Potentiometric Controller as follows :- 

Terminal M1 – Open signal

Terminal M2 – Close signal

Terminal M3 – Common 

Terminal M4 – 135 ohm Feedback Potentiometer – winding

Terminal M5 – 135 ohm Feedback Potentiometer – wiper

Terminal M6 – 135 ohm Feedback Potentiometer – winding

Where 6 wires are connected to the YBL1 Actuator then the Actuator may be replaced by one or other of the following S-E Actuators :-

MD10B-24

MD20B-24 (if MD10B-24 not available)

Details of the MD10B-24 Actuator may be viewed here.

Details of the MD20B-24 Actuator may be viewed here.

 

LINKAGE KIT

A Linkage Kit will also be required in order to enable the MD Actuator to be mounted on the MB Valve Body.

Linkage Kit LMD/AR-MB (914-1071-000)

Details of the LMD/AR-MB Linkage Kit may be viewed here

 

IMPORTANT NOTE

In such 6-wire installations not only will the YBL1 Valve / Actuator assembly need to be replaced but the associated Theta Potentiometric Controller and its Sensors will also need to be replaced.

 

CONTROLLER REPLACEMENT

The Theta Potentiometric Controller may be replaced by the S-E Satchwell CSC5252 or the CSC5352 Compensator Controller.

Details of the CSC Controllers may be viewed here.

 

SENSOR REPLACEMENT

Theta 3-wire Temperature Sensors may be replaced by S-E Satchwell 2-wire Temperature Sensors compatible with the S-E Satchwell CSC 5252 or CSC5352 Compensator Controllers selected from the following as appropriate.

Outside Air Temperature Sensor (STO 600)

Contact Temperature Sensor (STC 600), or alternatively :-

Immersion Temperature Sensor (STP 660) + Sensor Pocket Adaptor (DWA 0001)

Room Temperature Sensor (STR 600) – OPTIONAL ONLY

Details of the STO 600 Outside Air Temperature Sensor may be viewed here.

Details of the STC 600 Contact Temperature Sensor may be viewed here.

Details of the STP 660 Water Temperature Sensor may be viewed here.

Details of the DWA 0001 Sensor Pocket Adaptor may be viewed here.

Details of the STR 600 Room Temperature Sensor may be viewed here.

 

N.B.

ACTUATOR REPLACEMENT (3-WIRE INSTALLATION)

Should only 3 wires be connected to a YBL1 Actuator then the Actuator may be replaced by one or other of the following S-E Actuators :-

MD10B-24

MD20B-24 (if MD10B-24 not available)

Details of the MD10B-24 Actuator may be viewed here.

Details of the MD20B-24 Actuator may be viewed here.

 

LINKAGE KIT

A Linkage Kit will also be required in order to enable the MD Actuator to be mounted on the MB Valve Body.

Linkage Kit LMD/AR-MB (914-1071-000)

Details of the LMD/AR-MB Linkage Kit may be viewed here

In such 3-wire installations the YBL1 Valve / Actuator assembly only will need to be replaced, while any associated Controller and Sensors may be retained.
