The Honeywell V4055A1031 is a robust fluid power gas valve actuator engineered to provide reliable gas flow control for commercial and industrial combustion systems. When paired with compatible V5055 or V5097 gas valve bodies, it delivers precise on/off control of natural gas or LP gas supplies to burners, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

 

Designed for 110/120V AC 50/60Hz power systems, the actuator features a 13-second opening time to enable smooth burner light-off, reducing the risk of flame instability and improving combustion efficiency. In contrast, it offers a maximum closing time of just 1 second, providing rapid safety shutoff in emergency conditions, which is critical for preventing gas leaks and equipment damage. The actuator draws 1.57A during opening and maintains 1.3A while holding, making it energy-efficient for continuous operation.

 

The V4055A1031 supports gas pressures up to 15 PSI (with specific valve body configurations), and the Maximum Operating Pressure Differential (MOPD) ranges from 3 to 5 PSI depending on the valve size, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of system requirements. It is suitable for use with valve bodies sized from 3/4 inch to 4 inches, offering flexibility for various burner capacities. The actuator’s ambient operating range is -40°F to +150°F (-40°C to +66°C), making it suitable for installation in diverse industrial environments.

 

Key safety features include UL and FM approvals, confirming compliance with industry standards for gas valve safety. The actuator’s NEMA 1 general-purpose enclosure provides basic protection against dust and moisture, suitable for indoor installations. Visual indicators show valve position (open red, closed yellow), allowing quick status checks during maintenance or troubleshooting. The 140 lbs of stem force at +75°F ensures reliable valve operation even under pressure, while the maximum damper load of 20 lbs (at 2-11/16 inch radius) supports integration with linked damper systems.

 

The V4055A1031 is widely used in boilers, furnaces, and process heating equipment, where consistent gas control and safety shutoff are essential. Its durable construction and proven performance make it a trusted choice for OEMs and maintenance professionals, backed by Honeywell’s global support network.
