Mounting the Actuator to Spring Return Port A 
(Coil) Open
To mount the actuator to spring return Port A (coil) 
open:
1. Turn the valve stem to the position outlined in 
Figure 4. 
2. Mount optional M9000-561 Thermal Barrier to the 
valve if fluid temperature exceeds 212°F (100°C). 
See the Mounting the Thermal Barrier
 section for 
more information.
Note: Proceed to Step 7 if the ball valve linkage is on 
actuator Side B.
3. Remove the linkage from Side A (Figure 5).
4. Insert the drive shaft into Side B (Figure 6). The 
drive shaft is keyed for one-way assembly. With 
gentle pressure applied, rotate the drive shaft until 
the key aligns and the drive shaft falls into place. 
5. Install linkage base on Side B using the two 
#8-32 x 0.625 in. long screws (Figure 7). The 
recommended torque is 29 to 33 lb·in. 
(3.3 to 3.7 N·m).
