DeZURIK
G-Series Manual Actuator used on BOS Butterfly Valves
Adjusting Position Stops
The open and closed position stops prevent the valve disc from rotating beyond the optimum open and
shutoff positions.
If the actuator is factory-mounted on the valve, the stops are preset, and do not require further
adjustment. If the actuator is not factory mounted on the valve, or if the actuator has been removed, the
stops will require adjustment as described below; also refer to the Valve Instructions for specific closed-
position requirements for the valve.
To adjust the closed position stop:
Adjusting stops with flow in the pipeline can allow the valve to close causing personal injury
and damaging the flow system.
Shut down the flow and relieve pipeline pressure before making stop adjustments.
1. Discontinue flow and relieve pipeline pressure.
2. Loosen the nut on the closed position screw, and back out the screw about two turns.
3. Close the valve.
4. Turn the closed position screw clockwise until resistance is felt from the screw contacting the
gear (B1C).
5. Prevent the screw from turning and tighten the nut against housing (B1A).
6. Pipeline flow may now be restored.
To adjust the open position stop:
Adjusting stops with flow in the pipeline can allow the valve to close causing personal injury
and damaging the flow system.
Shut down the flow and relieve pipeline pressure before making stop adjustments.
1. Discontinue flow and relieve pipeline pressure.
2. To visually determine when the valve is in the open position, remove the screws (B1R) and
pointer (B1Q).
3. Loosen the nut on the open position screw, and back out the screw about two turns.
