Frequently Asked Questions
Does the bare-shaft order include an operating device?
Confirm the scope of supply explicitly. Identify whether you need the valve alone or a mounted handle, gearbox or actuator assembly; no operating device should be assumed from the bare-shaft title.
What information is needed to match an actuator I already own?
Provide both mounting and shaft-coupling drawings, required travel and valve operating requirements. Request compatibility confirmation for the selected assembly rather than relying only on a general mounting designation.
Which drawing should I request before planning the installation?
Ask for the exact quoted valve's connection, face-to-face and stem-interface dimensions. Include available operator and maintenance space so the proposed drive can be checked as well as the valve body.
