Spartan Valves ME-1608 Actuator
The Spartan Valves ME-1608 is a professional-grade 24v NO thermoelectric actuator engineered for precise zone control in hydronic heating and cooling systems. As a normally open thermoelectric actuator, this unit ensures a fail-safe position (stem up) upon power loss, making it a reliable choice for critical HVACR infrastructure. It utilizes a self-contained, wax-filled element and a PTC semi-conductive disc to provide silent, maintenance-free operation without the mechanical noise associated with motorized gears. Designed for versatility, the ME-1608 features a quick-connect bayonet coupling for rapid installation on various Spartan valve bodies (V240, V320, and VN series). With a low 1W operating power consumption and a high pressure rating of up to 480 PSI, this actuator optimizes energy efficiency while maintaining high-seal integrity. The integrated position indicator allows for immediate visual verification of the valve state, ensuring installers can quickly diagnose system flow during commissioning or service calls.
Key Benefits for Technicians- Normally Open (NO) Fail-Safe: Automatically returns to the open position during power interruptions to prevent stagnant lines or freezing.
- Silent Operation: The solid-state wax element design eliminates gear noise, ideal for low-profile cabinets and residential zone control.
- High Temperature Resistance: Rated for fluids up to 248°F (120°C), making it suitable for low-pressure steam and high-temp hydronic loops.
- Field-Proven Durability: Robust, corrosion-resistant housing protects internal components in demanding mechanical room environments.
- Easy Installation: Features a snap-on assembly with a valve adapter, significantly reducing labor time on multi-zone manifold projects.
What is the "First Open" function on the ME-1608?
This actuator is shipped in the "First-Open" state to allow for system filling and pressure testing without power. Applying 24V power for more than 6 minutes automatically unlocks this function for standard operation.
Is the ME-1608 compatible with all Spartan Valve bodies?
Yes, it is fully interchangeable with Spartan 2-way and 3-way terminal unit control valve bodies, including the V241, V243, and V245 series, using the appropriate threaded adapter.
Can this be used with modulating controllers?
While the ME-1608 is a 2-position (On/Off) actuator, it can be utilized with pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals from compatible building automation systems (BAS) for pseudo-modulating control.
