Choosing the right portable valve actuator for your valve applications is an important step to take. But it’s equally important to ensure you have the right wheel drive plate.

Consideration must be given to the following points about the valve wheel.

  1. Is the valve wheel flat, or dished (tapered).
  2. How many spokes does the wheel have?

With this information, it’s easy to choose the best drive plate.

In this latest blog photo from Modec an FSB drive plate is used in conjunction with an MC89 portable valve actuator.

The FSB drive plate is designed for dished (tapered) valve wheels. The one in the photo is turning a wheel with 4 spokes.
