The Gear Operator, 3 in Valve, 8:1 Ratio Worm-Gear, Manual Handwheel is a valve accessory — gear operator. Standard service rated.
Designed to integrate with API 6A and ANSI flange-mounted oilfield valves. Supplied with the appropriate mounting interface and signal / control connections to match the host valve.
Standard service materials.
Confirm (a) the host valve OEM, model, and serial number for correct mounting interface, (b) any signal / control requirements (4-20 mA position feedback, limit switches, manual override), (c) service class (standard vs sour), (d) operating environment (ambient temperature, hazardous-area zone).
