3S Remote Actuator

Remotely operate virtually any valve, from anywhere, with our battery-powered valve actuation system.

Smart Actuation logoIf your utility is looking to maximize operations, improve response times, and reduce operational costs, then consider our Remote Battery-Powered Valve Actuators from Smart Actuation. Unlike traditional network valve automation, this system actuates valves in real-time without requiring large chambers, grid power, or PLCs. Instead, simply retrofit the remote actuators to existing valves in just a few hours and save more than 80% in operational costs generally associated with utility automation projects! This solution is an excellent choice for new valve installations as well. Using SCADA software or a custom cloud portal, you can control valves with the click of a button. To learn more about how remote valve actuators can lower the total operating costs of your utility, contact your local Ferguson Waterworks expert.

What key benefits do remote battery-powered valve actuators provide?

Smart Actuation gives utilities the power to control valves off-grid using a custom web portal or SCADA operating system. As a result, you can react faster meanwhile utilizing fewer man-hours.

  • Operate virtually any valve from anywhere
  • No need for line power, completely battery-operated
  • Faster response time when it comes to turning valves, especially during critical events
  • Fits large diameter valves
  • Reduces carbon output
  • The IP68-rated actuator and battery are fully submersible
  • ATEX2 rating accommodates both gas and wastewater networks

Please note: Smart Actuation actuators retrofit to most existing valves. They provide a torque up to 550NM (404Ft/Lb). In addition, larger actuators provide up to 1450Nm (1070Ft/Lb).
