Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-817 Adapter Kit

The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-817 Adapter Kit is a specialized interface engineered to provide a secure mounting solution for SmartX actuators, Forta actuators, and pneumatic valve actuators onto a variety of legacy Robertshaw globe valves. Designed for field technicians performing retrofits or repairs, this kit bridges the gap between modern Schneider Electric actuators and Robertshaw V6xxx series or Uni-Line 256x series valves ranging from 1/2" to 2" in size. The hardware supports valve bodies with 3/8" or 5/8" stroke lengths, ensuring precise mechanical translation and reliable close-off pressure in demanding HVAC environments. By utilizing this globe valve adapter kit, contractors can extend the service life of existing fluid control infrastructure without necessitating a full valve body replacement. The inclusion of a specific Forta actuator stem adapter simplifies the integration of advanced electronic valve control systems, facilitating accurate modulation and system efficiency in commercial boiler and water control applications.

Key Benefits

• Universal Actuator Interface: Enables mounting of Schneider Electric pneumatic, Forta, and SmartX electric-electronic actuators to legacy Robertshaw hardware.
• Broad Model Support: Fully compatible with Robertshaw V61xx through V69xx and V2566, V2567, and V2568 series globe valves.
• Optimized Stroke Matching: Engineered specifically for valves with 3/8" and 5/8" stroke specifications to maintain accurate control loops.
• Reduced Downtime: Eliminates the need for pipe-cutting or valve body removal by adapting new actuators to existing 1/2" to 2" valve bonnets.
• Industrial Build Quality: Constructed for high-cycle reliability in industrial fluid handling and commercial HVAC systems.

Common Questions

Can I use the AV-817 with non-Schneider Electric actuators?
This kit is specifically engineered and tested for mounting Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) actuators. While the physical mounting may appear similar to other brands, using non-specified actuators can lead to stroke misalignment or improper close-off.

Is the valve body or locking nut included in this kit?
No, the AV-817 is an adapter kit only. It consists of the stem and bonnet adapters necessary for the interface. The Robertshaw valve body and the original locking nut must be sourced separately or reused from the existing installation.

What stroke length is supported by this adapter?
The adapter is optimized for Robertshaw and Uni-Line valves with a 3/8 inch or 5/8 inch stroke. Ensure your selected actuator stroke is equal to or greater than the valve stroke for proper operation.
