KMC Controls MCP-8031-3101 Actuator

The KMC Controls MCP-8031-3101 is a high-performance pneumatic damper actuator engineered for precise control of small dampers in HVAC systems and VAV air terminal units. This unit features a 5-10 PSI spring range and a 1-11/16-inch stroke, making it a reliable choice for field technicians installing or maintaining variable air volume systems. Its rugged metal body is UL555S listed for smoke control applications, ensuring compliance in ceiling plenum environments where non-metallic components are prohibited. The MCP-8031-3101 serves as the direct HVAC actuator replacement for legacy models including the M693-3095, M693-3095-1, and MK-693-35. Designed with a right-angle mounting bracket and bronze bushings, it includes a clevis and cotter pin for seamless integration. The actuator can be rotated within its bracket, allowing for flexible positioning of pneumatic control signals to clear existing ductwork or terminal constraints.

• Universal Compatibility: Direct drop-in replacement for M693-3095 and MK-693-35, reducing downtime during retrofits.
• Plenum Rated: Durable zinc-dichromate plated steel body meets code requirements for installation in ceiling air spaces.
• Versatile Mounting: Includes a right-angle bracket and clevis pin linkage for flexible attachment to damper frames or VAV boxes.
• Precise Response: 5-10 PSI operating range provides consistent pneumatic damper control for accurate airflow modulation.

Common Questions

Is the MCP-8031-3101 suitable for smoke control systems?
Yes, this model is specifically tested to meet UL555S standards, making it suitable for use in leakage-rated dampers and smoke control applications.

Does this actuator include the necessary mounting hardware?
This package comes complete with a right-angle mounting bracket, bronze bushings, and the clevis/cotter pin assembly for standard installation.

Can I use this to replace an plastic-bodied actuator in a plenum?
If local codes require fire-resistant materials in the plenum, the metal construction of the MCP-8031-3101 is the appropriate technical upgrade over non-metallic units.
