Mounting the Thermal Barrier
Figure 16 shows the optional M9000-561 Thermal 
Barrier.
To mount the optional thermal barrier:
1. Install the thermal barrier drive shaft into the 
thermal barrier by aligning the tab on the drive 
shaft with the slot on the thermal barrier 
(Figure 17). 
2. Rotate the drive shaft to align marks on the top of 
the thermal drive shaft with matching marks on the 
valve stem.
3. Mount the thermal barrier onto the valve using the 
four included M5x16 mm machine screws and four 
M5 flange nuts. Tighten the screws to a 
recommended torque of 21 to 25 lb·in. 
(2.4 to 2.8 N·m) (Figure 18). 
4. Proceed to actuator mounting instructions. Follow 
the same steps as mounting directly to the valve 
when mounting the actuator to the thermal barrier.
