Actuator Heads
Match the head to valve access
Straight Head
Straight actuator geometry for direct valve access.
Right-Angle Head
Right-angle configuration for restricted inline access; torque limits depend on actuator variant.
Standard-Duty Banjo Head
Hollow/banjo head for compatible rising-stem valve applications; actuator-variant limits apply.
Heavy-Duty Banjo Head
Higher-capacity hollow/banjo head for compatible rising-stem valve applications; actuator-variant limits apply.
Valve Adaptors
Match the interface to the valve
Fixed Finger Adaptor
Fixed interface for compatible valve handwheel configurations.
Self-Centering Spoke Adaptor
Self-centering interface for handwheel spoke configurations.
Square Drive Adaptor
Socket-driven interface for square-drive valve operation.
Variable Valve Adaptor
Adjustable interface for varying handwheel and valve configurations.
Flat-Spoke Adaptor
Adaptor for compatible flat-spoke valve handwheels.
Tapered-Spoke Adaptor
Adaptor for compatible tapered-spoke valve handwheels.
Reaction Management
Control the reaction force
Reaction Arm
Reaction support for controlled portable valve operation.
Bipod
Supported reaction configuration for demanding valve positions.
Reaction Finger
Compact reaction interface for specific valve and access configurations.
Articulated Reaction Arm
Articulated reaction support for applications requiring flexible positioning.
Custom Mounting Flange
Made-to-order mounting interface for application-specific valve configurations.
Options & Accessories
Complete the operating package
Torque Limiter
Torque-control option used where the actuator/head combination requires an operating torque cap.
Extension
Extension component for applications requiring additional reach.
Air Hose
Air-supply hose for pneumatic PVA systems.
Counter
Revolution/counting option for supported actuator configurations.
Storage Case
Protective transport and storage case for PVA components.
Battery Pack
Battery power accessory for compatible battery-operated PVA systems.
Universal Joint
Angular-flexibility accessory for supported valve-operating configurations.
Safety Unit
Safety accessory for supported portable valve actuation configurations.
Compatibility
Published platform compatibility
Compatibility is not simply yes or no: several head combinations are supported only on specific actuator variants or below a defined torque limit. “Conditional” means the exact actuator variant and torque rating must be checked before configuration.

Variant, head rating, or torque limit must be checked.
Confirm
The exact pairing requires configuration review.
H2O Water Network Kit
H2O is handled as a configured water-network package rather than as a general-purpose actuator/head platform. Its valve key, extension, socket, reaction equipment, battery configuration, and case should be selected from the dedicated H2O package data.
Benefits
Portable powered valve operation
Operator Safety
Reduce manual strain
Reduce physical effort and limit operator exposure during difficult or repetitive valve operations.
Equipment Protection
Controlled operation
Controlled torque helps protect valves and surrounding equipment during powered operation.
Productivity
Complete repetitive work faster
Portable powered operation can improve productivity across facilities and networks with many manually operated valves.
