1.   Unscrew the hold-down knob and remove handle from valve 

shaft. Set aside the knob and handle for later use. 

2.   With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws from the 

valve body as shown in Figure 1. 

3.   Turn the actuator over and observe the teeth as shown in 

Figure 2. 

4.   Place the actuator over the valve shaft so the small tooth  

engages with the small slot in the valve shaft. See Figure 2.

5.   Rotate the actuator until the actuator posts line up with the four 

holes so it matches one of the mounting positions shown in  

Figure 3. See table below for descriptions of mounting options. 

Mounting Options

Standard Plumbing - A three-port valve is the port B (middle) being 

the incoming (common) port and A and C ports are the outlet ports 

(see Figure 1).

Standard Actuator Mounting - The main body of the actuator is 

over port B as shown in Item II of Figure 3.

The actuator can also be mounted on top of a valve in four different 

positions as shown in Figure 3. Depending on the plumbing of the 

valve and mounting position of the actuator, the cams inside the 

actuator may have to be reset. (See next section.)

6.   Use the supplied four long stainless steel screws to attach the 

actuator to the valve.

7.   Use the hold-down knob set aside in step 1 to connect the 

handle to the valve shaft. 

8.   Connect power supply cord to a CLASS 2 CIRCUIT ONLY, 

rated 24V nominal, 4A or 100VA maximum. 

Place actuator on valve so small tooth aligns

with small slot.
