<strong>Versa</strong> has available over thirty standard devices to actuate Series V or Series<br />

T valves. The basic purpose of the actuating device is to provide a means of<br />

shifting the valve spool back and forth in order that it may perform the various<br />

valving functions necessary. Because of the balanced design and action of the<br />

valve spool, the force required to shift this spool is separate and unaffected<br />

by the pressure being controlled by the valve.<br />

The actuators are designed for application within 3 ranges of valve sizes: one<br />

range of actuators for all valve styles, types, and sizes 1/8" through 1/2"; another<br />

range of actuators for sizes 3/4" through 1"; and one range of actuators for 11/4" valves. Within their broad respective ranges, <strong>Versa</strong> actuators are completely<br />

interchangeable on all body styles, types , and sizes. Except for valves that are<br />

specifically normally closed or normally open, these actuators may even be<br />

shifted from end-to-end on the valve body to suit any specific piping layout or<br />

space requirement.<br />

Illustrated with brief descriptions, are the basic types of actuators in most frequent<br />

use. The "letters" referred to by the actuator types coincide with the prefix<br />

letters used in the product numbering system. Many variations and modifications<br />

of these basic actuators are also available. A few are described on<br />

Page V-4.8 under Suffix Details. Others, such as combination actuators, can<br />

be found on Pages V-69.1 thru 69.3.<br />

PARTS IN<strong>FOR</strong>MATION – the number inside the box refers to the page<br />

number for parts information. Dimensioning information is found in each of the<br />

specific valve sections.<br />

MANUAL<br />

A push or pull motion may be used to operate the hand device in order to shift<br />

the valve spool. If used with a detent device ("U" or "Z") or a no-spring device<br />

("N") the handle must be actuated and returned manually. With a spring centering<br />

device ("B") the handle will normally be in the center position when not<br />

actuated, or will return to the center position after being actuated. To actuate<br />

with a spring centering device, the handle must be pulled to one offset position<br />

and pushed to the other. The precise differences of each of the three hand<br />

actuating devices are described below.<br />

TYPE "H" HAND LEVER (Offset Mounted)<br />

The handle of this device is offset from the valve, and may be located on either<br />

side of the valve. Standard assembly places the handle on the side having the<br />

outlet ports. The entire hand actuating device may be rotated into positions at<br />

increments of 90° from vertical. (For various options available see below.)<br />

When mounted so that handle works in a vertical plane a back and forth motion<br />

is provided. When mounted so that handle works in a horizontal plane a rotary<br />

motion is provided.<br />

OPTIONS<br />

Hand valves are supplied<br />

218E 218A<br />

according to standard position.<br />

Seven other positions<br />

are available (Suffix-218A<br />

218G<br />

218C<br />

Thru 218G). To order simply<br />

ber shown.<br />

Example: VSH-4302-218E.<br />

TYPE "L" HAND LEVER (Centerline Mounted)<br />

The handle of this device is in the vertical plane through the centerline of the<br />

valve body and is required when dustproof feature is desired. On models up to<br />

1/2" pipe size, a rubber boot provides protection from dirt and dust. The entire<br />

device may be rotated into positions at increments of 90° from vertical. To indicate,<br />

use Suffix –218A, –218B, or –218C as shown above for offset mounted<br />

hand lever.<br />

TYPE "I" PALM BUTTON (Panel Mounting Is Standard)<br />

The body of the Palm Button actuator is supplied with a thread and nut that<br />

allows the actuator, when required, to be fastened to a panel with the valve<br />

behind the panel. The button will then project through and be visible from the<br />

front panel. Pushing or pulling the button activates the valve.<br />
