2.4.2.2
Horizontal Pipeline Vertical Stem
The G3-Series actuator mounting on a horizontal pipeline with a
horizontal valve stem should be supported on the ends of the drive
module. A strap may be attached to the stabilization tab on the
spring module to balance the unit while lifting. The weight of the
actuator must be supported at the drive module, not the stabilization
tab. Be sure to use appropriately rated crane/hoist and straps/chains
to raise and lower the actuator. See Figure 2 above.
