VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator
The VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator is an electric
actuator that provides proportional control of valves
with up to a 5/16 in. stroke in Heating, Ventilating, and
Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. This compact,
non-spring return actuator has a 22 lb minimum
seating force in a compact, easy-to-install package.
The VA-8122 can be ordered factory coupled to the
1/2 in. or 3/4 in. VG7000 Series bronze valves for hot
or cold water service only. The VA-8122 can be used
for retrofits of VT Series Terminal Unit Valves (with
slotted stems) and VB-5x39 Series Flare Valves.
Refer to the appropriate valve literature for more
information.
