V4055A,B,D,E
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
insurer requirements.
a
VE5000 is a European manufactured and approved valve for
European use only.
