Danfoss 013G-8072 Operator Adapter

The Danfoss 013G-8072 Operator Adapter is a critical component for field retrofitting, specifically designed to bridge the gap between legacy heating infrastructure and modern control technology. As a direct RAV to RA2000 adapter, this hardware allows for the seamless installation of current Danfoss RA 2000 thermostatic operators onto existing Danfoss RAV valve bodies. By utilizing this radiator valve conversion kit, technicians can upgrade older hydronic systems to high-performance thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) without the labor-intensive process of draining the system or replacing the entire valve body. This TRV retrofit adapter ensures a secure, pressure-fit connection, maintaining the precise modulating temperature control required in commercial and residential boiler systems. For veteran contractors managing older Danfoss valve installations, the 013G-8072 provides a standardized solution for integrating contemporary energy-saving actuators with proven RAV-series mechanical components, ensuring long-term reliability and compatibility with the latest Danfoss heating controls.

• Seamless Retrofit: Bridges the gap between legacy RAV valve bodies and modern RA 2000 series operators.
• Mechanical Precision: Engineered for a tight, reliable fit that ensures accurate sensor response and valve modulation.
• Labor Efficiency: Allows for control upgrades without breaking into the hydronic loop or requiring a full system drain-down.
• Universal Compatibility: Suited for standard RA 2000 operators, including tamper-resistant and remote sensor variants.

Common Questions

How do I identify if I need the 013G-8072 adapter?
Legacy RAV operators are typically distinguished by a metal band with a screw that secures the operator to the valve body. If your existing valve has this metal band and you are upgrading to a snap-on RA 2000 operator, this adapter is required for the new actuator to seat correctly.

Is this adapter compatible with RA 2000 wall-mount operators?
No. If you are installing RA 2000 wall-mount operators (such as the 013G8562 or 013G8564 series), this specific adapter is not required for the installation.

Can this adapter be used on RAVN valve bodies?
The 013G-8072 is specifically designed for the RAV series. Always verify the valve neck diameter and mounting style before installation to ensure the adapter seats fully on the valve shoulder.
