On-Off Fluid Power Gas Valve Actuator
APPLICATION
The V4055 Gas Valve Actuator, in combination with a
VE5000
a
, V5055 or V5097 Gas Valve, controls the gas supply
to commercial and industrial burners.
When replacing a V4034 with a V4055, the V5034 gas valve
must also be replaced with a V5055 or V5097 gas valve.
FEATURES
The V4055 Actuator, when used with the VE5000
a
, V5097
or V5055 Valve, is rated for final safety shutoff service.
The V4055 Actuator can be used with the characterized
guide model of the V5055 or V5097 Gas Valve to enhance
lightoff smoothness.
The standard model has an opening time of 26 seconds at
60 Hz or 32 seconds at 50 Hz. A fast-opening model is
available with timings of 13 seconds at 60 Hz or 16
seconds at 50 Hz.
Maximum closing time is one second, which meets code,
standard and insurer requirements.
Models available with damper shaft, with or without spring
return; shaft extends out both sides and rides in Teflon-like
Delrin bushings; used with standard 7616BR Damper
Crank Arm.
Red OPEN indicator attached to actuator stem shows
when valve is even slightly open; yellow SHUT indicator on
valve stem shows only when gas valve is fully closed.
Models available with adjustable max flow limit switch.
Ambient temperature rating is -40°F to +150°F (-40°C to
+66°C) for 60 Hz models and -10°F to +158°F (-23°C to
+70°C) for 50 Hz and 50/60 Hz models.
Valve and actuator combinations can be mounted in any
position, with the exception of the 220 to 240 Vac, 50/60 Hz
models, which are mounted vertically.
Models available with factory-installed single pole double
throw (spdt) field-adjustable Auxiliary Switch. Field-addable
Auxiliary Switch kits are also available.
Standard enclosure meets NEMA 1 (IP30) requirements;
models available with NEMA 4 (IP54) weatherproof
enclosure.
V4055D and high pressure V4055E with Proof-of-Closure
Switch and V5055/V5097C or E with valve seal overtravel
interlock (double seal) to meet specific code, standard and
