VC2, VC4, VC60, VC8 

On-Off Actuator for  VC Series Balanced Hydronic Valves 

These 2-position (open/close) control 

actuators

 are used with VCZ 

1000, 1100, 6000 and 6100 series hydronic valves in a normal 
indoor environment to provide quick opening/closing to control the 
flow of hot and/or chilled water or glycol solution to 60% concentra­
tion.  They are designed for on-off "zone" control of heating/cooling 
systems, or to control individual fan coil, baseboard radiator or 
convector applications. 

Depending on the model selected, the actuator can be controlled 
by a low or line voltage SPST or SPDT controller, such as a room 
thermostat, aquastat or flow switch. 

VC80 series valve actuators are designed to be used with hard­
wired electronic thermostats with series anticipator or power­
stealing thermostats. Recommended control thermostats include 
T8601D, T8401C, T8380 and T8360 families. 

VC actuators use cam-operated cartridge travel to resist water 
hammer. Internal limit switches prevent motor overrun. Some of 
these actuators have conformally coated printed circuit boards for 
humidity resistance.
