Note: To avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor for VA9104 and M9104 models, use a controller or
software that provides a time-out function to remove the signal at the end of rotation (stall). The IGx and GGx
models have an auto shutoff to avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor.
On models with the flow-characterizing disk, the disk is located in Port A. Port A must be the inlet. On three-way
models, use Port A as the coil inlet and Port B as the bypass inlet.
IMPORTANT: Take care to prevent foreign material such as weld slag, thread burrs, metal chips, and scale
from entering the piping system. This debris can damage or severely impede the operation of the valve by
embedding itself in the seats, scoring the valve, and ultimately resulting in seat leakage. If the debris becomes
embedded in the seats, subsequent flushing and filtering of the piping system with the valve installed does not
remedy the problem.
