<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 />

Seven other positions<br />
are available (Suffix-218A<br />

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