Installation Notes

Installation Guidelines

  • Install valves on horizontal pipelines; actuator position depends on valve type and medium temperature
  • Do not install actuator directly below the valve
  • Avoid installation in humid environments
  • Follow terminal definitions in installation manual for electrical connections

Ordering Information

When ordering, specify:

  • Actuator model (EL4611 or EL4613)
