Mechanical Installation

The valveshave female NPT pipe fittings and should be 
sealed with an approved pipe sealant or tape.  Take care 
not to use excess pipe dope to avoid interfering with 
operation of ball. Torque should not exceed 75 ft-lb.

See Fig. 8 and 9 for valve dimensions. Refer to actuator 
literature for actuator dimensions.

Mounting Plate Adjustment

The Actuator Mounting Plate can be rotated to a different 
position for installation in confined spaces. This is 

accomplished as follows:

1.

Remove the handle from the shaft and set it aside.

2.

Remove the two screws that hold the stem 

assembly to the mounting plate and set them aside.

3.

Remove and set aside the stem assembly.

4.

Remove and set aside the two screws that attach 

the mounting plate to the valve.

5.

ENSURE VALVE IS ISOLATED AND DEPRES-

SURIZED BEFORE PROCEEDING. Remove yel-

low pressure plate marked “HIGH PRESSURE” 

from valve bonnet, rotate 90° or 180°, and re-install 

screws using same holes in pressure plate and the 

appropriate pair of tapped holes in the valve bonnet.

NOTE: Take note of the screw hole positions on 

the valve. They limit the mounting plate 

positions.

6.

Rotate mounting plate around valve top to the 

desired position.

IMPORTANT

Do not rotate the valve stem while the hold-down 
ring is removed. This can change the common 
port from AB to A.

7.

Lower ring down to valve body and engage it in the 
new position relative to the mounting plate.

8.

Tighten screws to valve body securing the mounting 
plate.

9.

Reattach the stem assembly to the mounting plate.

10.

If desired, replace the handle on the shaft.

NOTE: See Fig. 6 for valve exploded view.

IMPORTANT

After adjusting a three-way valve mounting plate, 
take note whether the AB port or the A port is the 
common port.

Electrical Installation

1.

If necessary, remove actuator wiring cover.

2.

Wire the actuator according to the appropriate 
diagram provided with actuator or job specifica-
tions. For detailed actuator information, see Honey-
well literature:
