1. Are Asepco manual actuators autoclavable?
   Yes, our manual actuators are fully sealed and are capable of being autoclaved.
2. Can either manual or pneumatic actuators be submerged in cleaning solution?
   Manual actuators are sealed and may be fully submerged.Pneumatic actuators may be fully submerged as long as the breather vent and air connection are plugged prior to being submersed.
3. Do Asepco manual actuators have travel stops?
   Yes, all of our manual actuators have built-in, non-adjustable travel stops.
4. Do you offer breather vent & adaptors in 416 SS
   No. Currently you can get adapters and breather vents out of bronze or 304 SS.
5. Does ASEPCO permanently label their valves and actuators?
   Valve bodies are permanently labeled with serial and material heat numbers via pin stamping. Actuators are permanently labeled with serial numbers. 1"-3" Diaphragms are molded with a batch number and material identification codes.
6. How many turns does it take to fully actuate a 1/2" Manual operator
   1-1/4 approx.
7. How often should actuators be re-built?
   It is important to note that there are many factors that can affect the seal life of your actuator, such as, frequency of use, temperature exposure, chemical exposure, mis-handling, etc. rebuild intervals can vary.Below is a guideline that can help you determine your rebuild intervals. Remember, ...
8. Is it possible to increase the pressure my pneumatically actuated tanks will seal at to an amount greater than 80 PSI?
   0.5-inch valves will stay sealed at up to 100 PSI inlet (tankside) pressure. 2-inch valves require an additional spring in the actuator seal at 100 PSI inlet (tankside) pressure. For any pneumatically actuated valves you can apply additional air pressure to the spring side of the actuator to i ...
9. Is the ASEPCO LS-36-0 limit switch CE certified?
   No, this model switch does not meet CE requirements.If you require CE certified switches, please let us know at the time you request a quote and we will quote you the appropriate part.
10. What are the sealing pressures for pneumatically actuated valves?
    The maximum temperature is 276°/135° for all the Pneumatic actuators and the maximum pressures are as follows: Valve Size Actuator Type Max. PressureAll Clamps 0.5" PN05 100 PSI 1" PN10 80 PSI 1.5" PN20 80 PSI 2" PN20 80 PSI 3" PN30 60 PSI
11. What is the material of construction for the o-rings used in the pneumatic actuators?
    EPDM
12. What is the shop air pressure needed to actuate your valves?
    Minimum air pressure requirements are:60 psi - 0.5" pneumatic actuators80 psi - 1"-4" pneumatic actuators
13. What material are ASEPCO"S actuator sleeves made from?
    Our actuator sleeves are made from 304, 303 or 316/316L.
14. What spare parts are available for Manual 0.5" satellite valves?
    There are several types of spare parts available:Diaphragms:SG05 - 0.5" Silicone diaphragm, satelliteEG05 - 0.5" EPDM diaphragm, satelliteVG05 - 0.5" Viton A diaphragm, satellite - not for steam servicePEG05 - 0.5" EPDM/Parylene diaphragm, satellitePSG05 - 0.5" Silicone/Parylene diaphragm, satel ...
15. When do I need to replace manual actuator internal parts other than seals?
    Depending on your usage and environmental conditions this will vary. When manual actuators have a regular preventive maintenance procedure for replacing the seals then they average 5 years without replacing any other parts due to normal wear.
