The Floor
Stand is often the actuator-of-choice for the operation of subgrade
or subfloor valves. While used in other industries, floor stands are
most frequently encountered in the power generation and water/wastewater
fields. Through the use of an appropriate shaft and fittings, the
floor stand connects to an adapter plate that replaces the valve's
OEM handwheel. If desired, a bevel gear operator can be installed
on the floor stand. Fully rigged, the handwheel of the floor stand
is used to open and close the valve.
The
FS100 and FS6-30 are considered "standard sizes". They correlate
to the diameter of the OEM handwheel which the floor stand replaces.
The FS100 accommodates valves with handwheel sizes from 4" to
12"; the FS6-30 from 12" to 30". Both models may be used with
rising or non-rising stem valves. If indicators are desired
they will be installed as shown in the above photos. NOTE: The
weight of the pipe connecting the floor stand to the valve is
carried by thrust bearings in the stand. The operating mechanism,
used solely for torque, carries no load.
