DESCRIPTION
The MO953 and MP953 Pneumatic 
Valve
 Actuators
(“Actuators”) are used with 
V5011
 and 
V5013
 Valves and
can control older steam and water valves via adapters. The
M0953A-D
 Actuators are functionally identical to the
MP953A-D
 Actuators. Therefore, most of this sheet is
directed to the MP953 Actuators.
MP953A
 and B Actuators use a Gradutrol Relay for
positioning, and the 
MP953E
 and 
MP953F
 Actuators use a
positive positioner. The relay and the positioner function in
essentially the same way. Positivepositionerretrofitkitsare
available for 
MP953A
 and B Actuators (see
ACCESSORIES).
APPLICATION
These Actuators operate the 
V5011
 and 
V5013
 Valves
and certain other coil, line, and zone valves that
GENERAL
proportionally control steam or hot and cold liquids in
HVAC systems.
