SERIES 5 DECLUTCHABLE GEAR OPERATOR Available for 2"-36" (50mm-900mm) valves, the Series 5 offers the same superior features as the Series 4 gear operator with the added ability to manually override pneumatic actuators or rotate the valve when air pressure is not available. During pneumatic operation of the valve, the worm of the gear unit is disengaged. Should the valve require opening or closing in the event of power loss, manual rotation of the declutch lever will provide a camming action and engage the worm to the segmented worm gear. Reverse rotation of the lever disengages the unit. Excellent for safe handling of spring return actuators. SERIES 1 HANDLE & NOTCH PLATE KIT Bray offers two handles for on- off and throttling service – one for resilient seated valves from 1"-12" (25mm-300mm), and a high torque handle for high pressure valves from 2 1/2"- 8" (65mm-200mm). These quarter turn handles have a locking spring design and a directional pointer for valve disc position indication. Bolted notch plates are offered. For resilient seated valves a 10 position plate is standard. For high pressure valves an 8 position plate is standard. Both contain on-off SERIES 4 GEAR OPERATOR For heavy duty on-off and throttling service of 2"-48" (50mm-1200mm) valves, the Series 4 is self lubricated for smooth, trouble free operation. The rugged, cast iron body with O-ring body seals is weatherproof to IP65. A self–locking worm and worm gear drive holds the valve in the desired position. Features include a readily accessible handwheel, a valve position indicator and mechanical travel stops which permit field adjustment of valve movement to specific degrees of rotation. Optionally available are chainwheel accessories, padlock kits
OPERATORS stops to prevent over rotation of the valve. Optionally available are an infinite posi- tion plate, a 180° notch plate, a memory stop and a 2" square nut version.

allows the customer to lock the valve in the full open or closed position, tamper proofing the valve. By drilling a new hole in the top plate, the handle can be locked in mid travel. and 2" square nut versions. A Stainless Steel Gear Operator is also available for valve sizes 1"-16". DIRECT-MOUNTING OF ACTUATORS TO VALVES Due to a modular concept of design, all Bray handles, manual gear operators, and pneumatic or electric actuators mount directly to Bray valves. No brackets or adapters are required. This allows for simple installation in the field and minimizes possible misalignment.
