R473

Electrical actuator, normally closed

Description
In order to allow an optimal control of the room temperature, combining the energy saving with a high comfort, the use of electrical actuators on distribution manifolds, on radiator valves with thermostatic option, or on fancoil valves is advisable. The series of R478 and R473 electrical actuators is characterised by an absolute quiet operation, long lasting lifetime as it has no mechanism subjected to wear and a sufficiently slow closing to prevent from water hammer phenomenon. The operation mechanism is made of wax bulbs controlled by low consumption electrical PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient).
