TO INSTALL REPLACEMENT ACTUATOR
IMPORTANT
Installation of a new actuator does not require draining the
system, provided the valve body and valve cartridge
assembly remain in the pipeline.
1. Check replacement part number and voltage ratings for match
with old device.
2. Disconnect power supply before servicing to avoid electrical
shock or equipment damage.
3. Disconnect leadwires to actuator. Where appropriate, label wires
for rewiring.
4. The actuator head is automatically latched to the valve. To
INSTALLATION remove, press up on the latch mechanism with your thumb. It is
located directly below the white manual open lever (see figure 6
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT: below). Simultaneously press the actuator down towards the body

of the actuator and the valve body are parallel to each other. Fig.6-Latch Mechanism to detach Actuator
6. An extra 25 mm head clearance is required to remove the actuator.
PLUMBING
The valve may be plumbed in any angle but preferably not with the
actuator below horizontal level of the body. Make sure there is enough
room around the actuator for servicing or replacement. MANUAL OPENERE
For use in diverting applications, the valve is installed with the flow water
entering through bottom port AB, and diverting through end ports A or B. The manual opener can be manipulated only when in the up position.

NOTE: If the valve is powered open, it cannot be manually closed,
unless actuator is removed.
WIRING
See figure 7 for single unit wiring details.
Multiple valves may be connected in parallel to a single controller
and transformer, up to the current rating of the controller and
transformer.

Controller (Series 70).
This valve should be serviced by a trained, experienced service
technician.
1. If the valve is leaking, drain system OR isolate valve from the
system. Do not remove valve body from plumbing.
2. Check to see if the cartridge needs to be replaced.
3. If the motor or other internal parts of the actuator is damaged,
replace the entire actuator assembly.
NOTE: Honeywell hydronic valves are designed and tested for
silent operation in properly designed and installed systems.
However, water noises may occur as a result of excessive
water velocity. Piping noises may also occur in high
