VA-7010 Series Electric On/Off Actuator
The VA-7010 Series Electric On/Off Actuators provide
two-position (open/closed) control and can easily be
field mounted with a threaded coupling onto VG5000
Series Forged Brass Valves. Refer to the
VG5000
Series Forged Brass Valves 1/2 Through 1 in.,
Two-Way Normally Closed and Three-Way
Product/Technical Bulletin
(LIT-977135
) for specific
information.
A lever at the side of the actuator housing can be used
to open the mounted valve manually for servicing.

When power is applied to the actuator, the motor drives
the gear assembly, and pushes down on the valve stem
against the force of the valve return spring.
When power is removed from the actuator, the
actuator retracts and allows the valve return spring to
move the valve stem up, in the direction of its normal
position. (See Figure 2.)

The VA-7010 actuator features a manual operating
lever (shown in Figure 3) for manually opening
Normally Closed (N.C.) valves or the N.C. port of
3-way valves. The lever will not fully close Normally
Open (N.O.) valves or the N.O. port of 3-way valves.

Observe the following recommendations when
mounting the actuator:
•Make sure the actuator is easily accessible for the
electrical connections.
•Make sure the actuator is free of thermal
insulation material.
•Leave at least 0.8 in. (20 mm) clearance above
the actuator for mounting purposes. (See Figure
3.)
To mount the actuator on a VG5000 valve:
1.Place the threaded coupling over the valve stem
and the bonnet.
2. Rotate the actuator to the desired position and
tighten the coupling securely by hand.
Note: Never use the actuator as a mounting lever.
!
CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard.
Mount only on a valve that is
piped within 90° of the vertical
position, so it is free of dripping
water, which could enter the
housing and damage the
mechanism and motor. (See
Figure 4.)

WARNING:Electrical Shock Hazard.
When servicing, make sure that
the electrical supply to the
actuator is switched off to avoid
personal injury or shock. Do not
attempt to connect or disconnect
wires when the power is on.
!
CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard.
Check all wiring connections
before applying power to the
system. Short-circuited or
improperly connected wires will
result in permanent damage to
the equipment.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in
accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all local
regulations.
To wire the VA-7010 actuator:
1. Run the actuator wires through 3/8 in. Flexible
Metallic Conduit (FMC) or its equivalent as
appropriate.
2. Secure the FMC to the connector provided with
the actuator by tightening the clamp screw using a
1/4 in. flat-blade screwdriver.
3. Connect the wires as shown in Figure 5 for each
respective model voltage.
