12 IMO-I5500
For enclosure specifications and dimensions see (Tables
2-3 and Figure 10).
• Enclosure “W” (weathertight) is certified by CSA to
meet specifications for NEMA 4/4X for weathertight
and dustight, environments. It is intended for non-
hazardous locations in indoor or outdoor use and
provides a degree of protection against corrosion,
windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed
water, and damage from external ice formation. It is
not designed to be submersible.
• Enclosure “WX” (explosionproof & weathertight) is
certified by CSA to meet specifications for NEMA 7&9,
explosionproof environments as well as to meet
NEMA 4/4X specifications. Explosionproof means that
an internal explosion will be contained, with no sparking
that could ignite external atmospheric gases. The
enclosure is rated for the following environments:
NEMA Class I, Division 1, Group C (Ethyl-ether
vapors, ethylene or cyclopropane)
NEMA Class I,Division 1,Group D (Gasoline,hexane,
naptha,benzene,butane,propane,alcohol,acetone,
benzol, lacquer, solvent, vapors or natural gas)
NEMA Class II, Division 1, Group E (Metal dust,
including aluminum, magnesium, their commercial
alloys, and other metals of similarly hazardous
characteristics)
NEMA Class II, Division 1, Group F (Carbon black,
coal or coke dust)
NEMA Class II, Division 1, Group G (Flour, starch or
grain dust)
NEMA Class III
• Torque = Breakaway Torque Valvcon actuators are
rated at breakaway torque; the amount of torque the
actuator will provide from a fully loaded stop upon
immediate power-up. With running momentum and
inertia, the amount of torque supplied by the actuator at
full speed (running torque) or upon entering a stall con-
dition (stall torque) always exceeds the minimum rated
breakaway torque. Since valves require most torque at
breakaway, only breakaway torque should be consid-
ered when sizing actuators.

Notes: 1. Select only one board option, as needed.
2. This heater option activates at or below 90˚F and deactivates at 110˚F; it is recommended in high-humidity applications.
3a. 150 – 600 in•lb models with “I” option are supplied with a 14 mm female square (note that without option “I” the female square is 3/4")
3b. 1000 in•lb models with “I” option are supplied with a 19 mm female square and 1500 – 3000 in•lb models are supplied with a 22 mm female square (note that without option “I”the female square is 1")
4. This heater option activates at or below 40˚F and deactivates at 60˚F; it is recommended in applications where the temperature may drop below 32˚F.
5a. 150 - 600 lb-in models with “Y” option are supplied with a 15mm female keyed output.
