Mounting MEP-5000 Actuators to Linkage
1. Rotate the valve linkage lever (1) so that the valve stem is
fully down.
2. Depress the actuator’s disengagement button (5) and
manually position the edges of actuator pointer between
the 10° and 15° marks.
3. Place the actuator over the linkage shaft (2) and the non-
rotation bracket (3).
4. Tighten 2 set screws (4) on the actuator output hub while
holding the linkage lever to ensure that the valve stem
stays down.
5. Confirm the unit’s operation by depressing the
disengagement button (5) and rotating the linkage lever (1)
in each direction.
NOTE: The pointer MUST NOT rotate past the 5° or 85°
marks (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 6).
6. If conditions in Step 5 are not met, loosen the 2 set screws
(4) and readjust.
1. Rotate the valve linkage lever (1) so that valve stem is fully
down.
2. Depress the actuator’s disengagement button (5) and
manually position the pointer to the first mark from full
Clockwise (see FIG.8)
3. Place the actuator over the linkage shaft (2) and the non-
rotation pin (3) until the cover on the actuator rests against
the linkage cover.
4. Finger tighten 2 coupler nuts (4) until the u-bolt (6) contacts
the linkage shaft (2).
5. Holding the linkage lever (1) to assure valve stem stays
down, and checking that the actuator cover is held against
the linkage, evenly torque the 2 coupler nuts (4) to 110-120
in-lbs.
6. Check final operation by depressing the disengagement
button (5) and rotating the linkage lever (1) in each
direction.
3-Way Valves: The valve seats should limit the actuator
pointer between the first mark from full clockwise (FIG. 8)
and the first mark from full counterclockwise (FIG. 9).
2-Way Valves: The valve seat should limit the actuator
pointer from passing the first mark from full clockwise
(FIG. 8).
7. Readjust, if needed, by loosening the 2 coupler nuts
(4) and adjusting.
