Instruction Manual
CVS Type 657
Diaphragm Actuator
Sizes 30-70
All CVS Controls equipment, including actuators, are
to be installed and maintained in accordance with
instructions supplied by CVS Controls. Only
qualified personnel may install and service the
actuator, and, if necessary, contact a gas service
person.
Introduction
The CVS Type 657 Actuator is used for the
automatic operation of control valves, and is
designed as a direct acting, spring-opposed
diaphragm. By varying the pneumatic loading
pressure on the actuator diaphragm, the valve plug
within the body will open, close or throttle.
When the loading pressure is increased within a
direct-acting diaphragm actuator the actuator stem
moves downward, compressing the spring. A
decrease in pressure will cause actuator stem to
move upward with the decompression of the spring
(Figure 2).
The valve plug action of the CVS Type 657 Actuator
can be set to "push down to close" or "push down to
open" and will then either open or close the control
valve upon failure of the loading pressure. When the
loading pressure fails, the diaphragm of the actuator
moves to the extreme upward position and performs
the selected action.
Refer to Table 1 for the specifications for various
sizes of CVS Type 657 Actuators. All accessories
used with the CVS 657 have individual manuals
which should be consulted regarding installation,
operation and maintenance.

Installation
The CVS Type 657 Diaphragm Actuator is usually
delivered furnished mounted on a CVS Controls
valve body. When installing the valve body into the
pipeline, consult the instructions for that particular
valve body. Should you have any questions during
the installation procedure, consult your CVS
Controls representative.
The loading pressure is connected to the NPT
connection in the top of the diaphragm case (1/4"
for sizes 30 through 60, 1/2" size 70). With larger
sizes, it may be beneficial to reduce the connection
down
