Loosely screw the jam nut and stem adapter on valve stem. Assemble Kit to Valve 2. Screw/slip the bonnet adapter insert as far as possible on to the valve. The packing gland may need to be removed. NOTE: For ARK11, (Siemens 591and 598 series) and ARK12 (Johnson VG2XXX) measure the bonnet to determine which insert to use. Discard any remaining inserts. 3. Reinstall packing gland if previously removed. Slip bonnet adapter over bonnet adapter. Insert and align set screw openings. 4. With valve stem in down position: a. For ARK 11 (Siemens 591-XXXX and 598-XXXX), ARK 12 (Johnson) and ARK14 (Siebe) measure stem adapter and use the stem adapter that properly aligns with top edge of bonnet adapter. Discard any remaining stem adapters. b. For “Up to Open” valves: Adjust stem adapter so that the edge is approximately 1/8-inch (5 mm) above bonnet adapter, while still maintaining at least two full threads of engagement. See Figure 1. NOTE: For ARK 16 (Honeywell V3XXXX 2-inch through 3-inch): Adjust stem adapter so a minimum of two full threads of engagement is achieved. c. For “Up to Close” valves: Adjust stem adapter so that edge is at least 1/8-inch (5 mm) below the top of the Bonnet Adapter. Figure 1. 5. Tighten jam nut to base of Stem Adapter. (Temporarily remove Bonnet Adapter if needed.) 6. Replace Bonnet Adapter if previously removed. 7. Tighten set screws through the Bonnet Adapter and Bonnet Adapter Insert to the valve. CAUTION: If the set screws are not properly aligned, damage may occur to the valve, the actuator or both when actuator is engaged. 1. Pull valve stem, with adapter, to its full up position. Assemble Actuator to Kit 2. Assemble Actuator to the retrofitted valve. NOTE: Actuator may need to be manually adjusted to reach stem adapter. See the actuator installation instructions. Installation is complete. Next >
