Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-392 Linkage

As a seasoned technician, you know that the Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-392 Linkage is critical for field assembly when pairing TAC gear train actuators with legacy valve bodies. Specifically designed for 1-1/2" to 2" VB-9xxx Series valves, this complete linkage kit provides the mechanical interface necessary for reliable operation. With a robust 150 Lb stem force capacity, the AV-392 handles the high-torque demands of larger bronze body globes, ensuring positive close-off in demanding hydronic systems. The die-cast aluminum mounting bracket offers superior rigidity compared to generic alternatives, maintaining precise alignment over years of service. This kit is purpose-built for spring return (SR) actuators, facilitating a safe fail position during power loss. Integrating this genuine valve linkage ensures factory-spec performance, reducing the risk of stem binding or premature actuator failure. For contractors managing retrofits, the AV-392 is the professional standard for restoring precise control to Schneider Electric globe valves.

• Universal Compatibility: Engineered specifically for 1-1/2" to 2" VB-9XXX series valve bodies, ensuring a perfect mechanical fit without field modifications.
• High Stem Force: Delivers a consistent 150 Lb stem force to overcome high differential pressures and maintain secure close-off.
• Durable Construction: Features a rugged die-cast aluminum mounting bracket and stainless steel components for long-term corrosion resistance.
• Integrated Position Indication: Built-in visual indicator allows for immediate manual verification of valve stroke and position.
• Spring Return Optimization: Validated for use with MA-series and MP-series gear train actuators requiring spring return functionality.

Which valve bodies are compatible with the AV-392 linkage?
The AV-392 is designed for legacy 1-1/2" and 2" VB-9XXX series globe valves. It is the required interface for retrofitting or repairing actuators on these specific valve sizes.

Does this kit work with non-spring return actuators?
While technically compatible with certain gear train motors, it is specifically optimized for spring return actuators. For non-spring return applications on similar valve bodies, refer to the AV-394 linkage series.

What is included in the complete linkage kit?
The package includes the AV-390 cam and plunger assembly along with the AV-92 linkage base, providing all necessary hardware for a full field installation between the actuator and valve stem.
