uct or part contains no defect as covered in this
warranty, the purchaser will be billed for parts
and labor charges in effect at time of factory
examination and repair.
Any Taco product or part not installed or operated
in conformity with Taco instructions or which has
been subject to misuse, misapplication, the addi-
tion of petroleum-based uids or certain chemi-
cal additives to the systems, or other abuse, will
not be covered by this warranty.

is suitable for use with a Taco product or part, or
for any application restrictions, consult the appli-
cable Taco instruction sheets or contact Taco at
(401-942-8000).

This warranty gives the purchaser specic rights,
and the purchaser may have other rights which
vary from state to state. Some states do not
allow limitations on how long an implied war-
ranty lasts or on the exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, so these limitations or
exclusions may not apply to you.
The valve can be installed on the supply or on the return
(preferred). The ow direction through the valve must be from
port B to port A (stamped on valve body), also indicated by the
arrow in the product label, so the paddle closes against the
direction of ow.
OPERATION OF VALVE
N.C. power OFF Port B closed
N.C. power ON Port B opened
N.C. manual open Port B opened
SWEAT COPPER CONNECTION
1. Use new, properly sized and cleaned pipe. Place the valve onto the pipe.
2. Move the manual open lever to lock at OPEN position before applying heat. This
protects the rubber seal on paddle inside by removing it from the brass seat during
soldering.
3. Sweat joints. Keep the outer surface free from solder. *DO NOT USE silver
solder due to the high melting temperature required which will cause damage to
internal parts*.
ASSEMBLY OF THE ACTUATOR TO THE VALVE BODY
1. Move the manual open lever to the lock open position.
2. Align valve stem to the mating actuator hole.
3. Move the “Actuator Release Lever” to the side and slide the actuator onto the
valve body, release the lever.
DISASSEMBLY OF THE ACTUATOR FROM THE VALVE BODY
1. Move the manual open lever to the lock open position.
2. Move the “Actuator Release Lever” to the side and pull actuator up.
MANUAL OPEN WITHOUT ELECTRIC POWER
The manual open can be achieved by pushing the manual open lever slowly and
rmly to the locked position. When power is applied, the manual open level unlocks
automatically. End switch will not be triggered (closed) when valve is manually
opened.
