Design Overview
The actuator is a spring or double acting pneumatic actuator.
To determine if you have an Advantage actuator or an Advantage actuator 2.0 locate the spindle
compressor connection and determine if you have a pin or t-slot connection.

Non-Sealed bonnet
The non-sealed bonnet has a weep hole that permits leakage of the process fluid if the diaphragm
ruptures.
Sealed bonnet
The sealed bonnet uses a special “V-notch” vent plug, which permits diaphragm inspection.

Maintenance
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 particular fluid in the line.
CAUTION:
• Disconnect electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic power before servicing actuator or automation
components.

For more information, see:
• Replace the valve diaphragm in this manual.
• Replace the spindle o-rings in this manual.
• Lubrication requirements in this manual.
• Tighten the bonnet fasteners in this manual.
Tighten the bonnet fasteners
CAUTION:
Do not tighten fasteners while the system is pressurized or at elevated temperatures (greater than 100°F
(38°C)).
1. Depressurize the system.
2. Use regulated air pressure to position diaphragm so that valve is slightly open.
You may need to use air pressure to actuate the valve.
Maintenance

3. Tighten the bonnet fasteners in a crisscross pattern.
For more information, see Fastener torque table for valve body to topworks in this manual.
4. Make multiple crisscross passes to build up torque to the final table value. Make additional crisscross
passes using final table values to evenly tighten each fastener to within 5% of torque value.
5. Retighten the bonnet fasteners as noted above at ambient conditions after the system has cycled
through operating pressure and temperature.
6. Monitor the valve for leakage:
If leakage ... Then ...
Occurs at the body/bonnet

Guidelines
• Minimum values given will provide a longer diaphragm cycle life for valves in non-autoclave and low
thermal cycle conditions.
• Maximum values given may be necessary for autoclave conditions and for high thermal cycle
conditions.
• Torques should be applied at near ambient conditions (less than 100ºF (38ºC)).
Disassemble the valve
1. Remove all line pressure.
2. Do you have a switch package?
• If yes: Proceed to step 3.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
3. Do you have a fail open or double acting actuator?
• If yes: Proceed to step 4.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
4. Do you have a series 33 actuator or adjustable opening stop?
• If yes: Remove the switch package.
• If no: Proceed to step 5.
5. If the actuator mode of operation is fail open or fail close, then load the actuator with air.
If the actuator mode of
operation is ...
Then ...
Fail open Load the air port in the upper cover of the actuator with sufficient air
to partially close the valve.
