Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-600 Linkage Kit

The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-600 is an industrial-grade hydraulic actuator valve linkage kit engineered for field assembly of round hydraulic actuators to globe valves. This kit is a direct replacement and is identical to the AV-600-0-0-2, providing seamless integration for contractors servicing HVAC 2-way and 3-way valve bodies. Designed for high-performance applications, the AV-600 allows for the precise coupling of MA-521x, MF-5x13, MP-521x, MP-541x, MPR-561x, MPR-571x, and MPR-581x actuators.

This versatile linkage kit is compatible with current 1/2" to 2" VB-7xxx Series valves and supports legacy maintenance by interfacing with obsolete VB-9xxx Series valves (1/2" to 1-1/4"). The rugged construction ensures a secure connection, reducing mechanical slop and improving close-off reliability in chilled water, hot water, and steam systems. For modern VB-7xxx series valve bodies, the assembly process is streamlined as no manual stem height setting is required, saving significant time during site retrofits.

• Universal Compatibility: Bridges Schneider Electric hydraulic actuators with both current VB-7000 and discontinued VB-9000 valve series.
• Simplified Installation: No stem height adjustment necessary for VB-7xxx series valve bodies, ensuring accurate factory-spec alignment.
• Industrial Durability: Rugged hardware designed to withstand high ambient temperatures and demanding HVACR control environments.
• Precise Control: Minimizes hysteresis between the actuator stroke and valve stem, ensuring optimal flow modulation.

Is the AV-600 compatible with newer VB-7xxx series valves?
Yes, the AV-600 linkage kit is specifically designed for 1/2" to 2" VB-7xxx series valve bodies. It requires no stem height settings for these models, facilitating a faster and more reliable field installation.

Can I use this kit to replace an AV-600-0-0-2?
Yes, the AV-600 is the exact functional equivalent to the AV-600-0-0-2. They share the same technical specifications and hardware components for actuator-to-valve coupling.

Does this kit work with both 2-way and 3-way valves?
The AV-600 is fully compatible with both two-way and three-way valve bodies in the supported size ranges, supporting both mixing and diverting configurations.
