The VA33 spacer ring A3019900 is required for adapting A3023522 to older style Wirsbo Brass Manifolds.
Uponor is transition from 2 Red & 2 Yellow wires to 2 Yellow, (1) Black and 1 (White) Wire. Please follow the specific installation instructions based on which model actuator you receive
The Uponor Thermal Actuator is a slow-opening thermal actuator that provides individual loop flow control on a multi-zoned manifold and features an end switch for activation of relay (pump), heat plant or other auxiliary devices.
Uponor's new Thermal Actuator, four-wire features a new design with lower power consumption (1 watt) and includes three adapter rings for compatibility with all of Uponor's radiant manifolds, including:
| Warranty: | 2 years |
|---|---|
| Application: | Zoning |
| Voltage: | 24 VAC |
| Operating Range: | 24 VAC, +20% -10% |
| End Switch: | 24 VAC, 0.5 A |
| Power Consumption: | 1W |
| Wiring: | Four-Wire |
| Type: | Thermal |
| Fluid Temperature Range: | 32°F - 212°F |
| Height (Inches): | 2.5" |
| Width (Inches): | 1-3/4" |
| Depth (Inches): | 2" |
| Weight (lbs): | 0.32 lbs |
This actuator includes the rings for use with the SS, EP, and Truflow manifolds.
When connecting to a Wirsbo manifold, ring A3019900 must be purchased in addition to the actuator. The included rings are for the current model manifolds.
The red wires are the end switch .Yellow are to the system.
No, the manifolds themselves should be installed upright.
you may need the correct adapter ring for the actuator/manifold
If you have an older Uponor TrueFlow manifold, you also need a brass adapter ring (A2630028). Nowhere is this mentioned in the descriptions.
Yes. Mechanically they work the same. Ron
Ginger, Yes, you can mix zone valve and actuator types on the same circuit, as long as they are all 24V and you check to make sure the total power draw of all actuators, relays, etc. does not exceed what your transformer can supply. The heat-actuated valves will operate much more slowly than the motorized ones. Tom Wills
Not sure what spacer rings you're referring to (perhaps wave washer?). But the ones I bought were complete. Just screw them on and hook up the wires. Good luck.
No spacer rings are required
No. I didn't need to buy a spacer ring when I replaced my actuators. Sent from my iPhone
All I bought was the actuators and they worked
I use this to simply replace the old unit...use everything in the box. My system only requires two wires, so I only use two of the four wires in this unit. --rd
There are 2 types of actuators. One with a metal knob to adjust the valve and one with a plastic top that can't be adjusted. If you have the one with the metal knob it has to be adjusted to the open position when it's energized. If you screw the metal knob all the way down the manifold valves won't close. Hope this helps.
Don@Adamanda’s, I am a home owner who does his own maintenance on our residential Wirsbo system. The motorized and thermal actuators from Wirsbo are generally interchangeable. Functionally they are similar with the thermal actuators being slower to open and close than the motorized version. In my experience the thermal actuators have been a longer-life part than the motorized actuators. (Our system is seventeen years old and I have replaced all of our actuators with thermal actuators.) Good luck!
