4.14 Removing the Handle from a U Type Valve
In addition to removing the handle, it is necessary to cut the 3" shaft of the manual
U Type valve to approximately 1".
1. Rotate the knob counterclockwise so the valve is positioned properly for
later installation on the electric actuator.
2. See Figure 7. Remove the handle by using a 1/8 hex driver to unscrew the
two set screws within the handle.
3. Take all the fittings out of the valve. Cover all the ports with masking tape
so that no debris can enter the ports.
4. Clamp the end of the shaft, not the valve body , in a bench vise. Carefully
cut the valve shaft to a length of 1" or less with a hack saw. Be sure not to
let the valve fall and become damaged.
CAUTION: Do not hold the valve body in the vise when cutting the
shaft. Valve damage will result.
5. Proceed to Section 4.3.
