Valve Linkages
Application
The AV-601 valve extension kit is used to increase the 
allowable ambient temperature range of MA, MF, 
MP-5X1X-XXX, MPR-5X1X and MP-541X Series actuators. The 
MF-5X1X, MP-541X, and MPR-5X1X Series of actuators require 
the AV-601 extension. This kit provides thermal insulation 
between the valve and the actuator. It does not insulate the 
actuator from radiant or convective heat transfer.
Specifications
• Kit consists of an extension coupling and a spacer.
• Dimensions: Add 2-1/32 in. (52 mm) to the “E” dimension for the 
valve assembly using an AV-601 linkage extension. Refer to 
complete dimensions:
- Two-Way Valves, Union End and Flared.
- Two-Way Valves, Screwed and Flanged.
- Three-Way Mixing and Sequencing Valves, Flared.
- Three-Way Mixing and Diverting Valves, Screwed.
