VG1000 Series Forged Brass Ball Valves Product Bulletin36
A control signal to Wire 3 of a CW-face (mounted away 
from the valve) VA9203 Series or VA9208 Series 
actuated spring-to-close floating control valve 
assembly drives the electric actuator to the fully CCW 
position. Likewise, a control signal to Wire 4 of a 
floating CW-face VA9203 Series or VA9208 Series 
Actuator, or removal of the control signal from Wire 3 of 
an on/off CW-face VA9203 Series or VA9208 Series 
actuated spring-to-close valve assembly, drives the 
electric actuator to the fully CW position.
Electric Actuator Selection
VG1000 Series Ball Valves are designed for factory or 
field mounting to a variety of M9000 and VA9000 
Series Actuators. VA9000 Series Actuators include all 
hardware necessary for attachment to the valve. 
M9000 Series Actuators require an additional linkage. 
Refer to Table 32.
Note: To avoid excessive wear or drive time on the 
motor for VA9104, M9104, M9106, and M9109 AGx 
models, use a controller and/or software that provides 
a timeout function to remove the signal at the end of 
rotation (stall). The IGx and GGx models have an auto 
shutoff to avoid excessive wear or drive time on the 
motor.
