Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-822 Adapter Kit

The Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) AV-822 Adapter Kit is a specialized mounting solution engineered for high-torque HVAC applications. This kit allows field technicians to secure Forta M1500 U-bolt style actuators to 2-1/2" through 6" VB-8xxx and VB-9xxx Series globe valves. It also facilitates the integration of Forta M800A and M900Ax actuators with 2-1/2" to 4" valve bodies, providing a rigid, slip-free connection essential for precise modulation and reliable close-off performance in large-bore hydronic systems.

Designed for professional contractors, the AV-822 streamlines the retrofit process by adapting the valve bonnet and stem to accept the robust U-bolt linkage of the SpaceLogic Forta line. The hardware ensures correct alignment, which is critical for preventing premature packing wear and maintaining the HVAC actuator linkage integrity. When working with 3/8" stem valves, the Barber Colman AV-822 typically requires an additional stem adapter kit to meet specific thread requirements. Integrating this Schneider Electric valve adapter into your building automation strategy allows for the modernization of legacy VB-8000 and VB-9000 valves without full body replacement.

• Universal Compatibility: Enables high-force SpaceLogic Forta M1500 actuators to mount seamlessly on large-scale 2-1/2" to 6" globe valves.
• Engineered Precision: Maintains exact stem alignment to ensure consistent flow control and maximize the life of the valve packing.
• Retrofit Ready: Provides a cost-effective path to upgrade legacy Barber Colman systems with modern, high-torque smart actuators.
• Standardized Installation: Utilizes a standard U-bolt mounting configuration for secondary mechanical security in high-vibration environments.

Which valve series is this adapter compatible with?
The AV-822 is specifically designed for 2-1/2" to 6" VB-8xxx and VB-9xxx series globe valves. For smaller series valves (1/2" to 2"), a different adapter kit—typically the AV-821—is required.

Can I use this kit for spring return actuators?
Yes, this kit is compatible with the Forta M900Ax spring return series on 2-1/2" to 4" VB-8xxx and VB-9xxx valves, ensuring fail-safe operation upon loss of power.

Are additional tools required for installation?
Standard technician hand tools, including a 5/8" wrench, 3/4" wrench, and a pipe wrench for the bonnet adapter, are necessary to ensure the adapter kit is torqued to specification.
