Valve manual operator

The solenoid valve manual operator is removable under pressure, enabling faster, easier commissioning and start-up while preventing inadvertent valve movement during plant operation. It is often considered good practice to include manual operators on solenoid valves to enable functional checking during start-up and commissioning.  They are then removed prior to the plant being handed over to operations. This prevents potential plant trips or unplanned shutdown. The removable under pressure manual operator can be removed and re-installed while the pipe-work is pressurised, with no loss of line fluid or pressure. It is currently available for the 327 series of solenoid valves, a 3/2 pilot valve used for control valve and emergency shutdown valve piloting. It is available in a range of body materials and with a selection of solenoid operators and certification, suitable for use in all of the major markets and in all hazardous areas.
