Product Description
Actuator identification
Design Overview The actuator is a spring or double acting pneumatic actuator.
To determine if you have an Advantage actuator or an Advantage actuator 2.1 locate the
spindle compressor connection and determine if you have a pin connection or modular
compressor design.

Bonnet description
Non-Sealed bonnetThe non-sealed bonnet has a weep hole that indicates a diaphragm failure by allowing process
fluid that accumulates in the bonnet to pass through the hole.
Sealed bonnet The sealed bonnet uses a special “V-notch” vent plug, which permits leak detection.

Valve diaphragm identification
Diaphragm tab codes
All diaphragm materials and physical properties are batch traceable via permanent codes
molded into the diaphragm tabs. The molding date, grade of diaphragm, and size provide
traceability to original batch records.

Precautions
WARNING:
• All procedures must be performed by qualified personnel.
• When the process fluid is hazardous, thermal (hot or cold), or corrosive, take extra
precautions. Employ the appropriate safety devices and be prepared to control a process
media leak.
• Always wear protective clothing and equipment to safeguard the eyes, face, hands, skin,
and lungs from the fluid in the line.
• Do not disassemble the actuator in the field. The actuator contains energized springs
which can cause injury. The product is designed to be recycled in its entirety.
CAUTION:
• Disconnect electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power before servicing actuator or
automation components.
Install the valve and topworks
NOTICE:
The topworks size and configuration can limit the actual operating pressure. Consult the Pure-
Flo catalog for pressure limitations. Consult the factory or engineering catalog for vacuum
operation.
Consider the following information before installing the actuator:
• The series 3, 5, 8, or 16 stainless steel bonnet Advantage 2.1 actuator can have the air
inlets positioned in any quadrant.
• The maximum valve operating pressure is 10.34 bar | 150 psig. This pressure is applicable
up to 38ºC | 100ºF. Valves at maximum pressure cannot be used at maximum
temperatures.
• The maximum actuator pressure is 6.2 bar | 90 psi.
