About the 8256-012

While these models are capable of withstanding high heat, they should be operated in temperatures that range from -40 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.

The actuator should be connected to the engine’s fuel control with a linear linkage. The product can be mounted directly to the engine which it is being operated with. These series of parts come standard with corrosive resistant material makes sure it will last as long as possible. Model 8256-013 weighs less than two pounds and is a compact product.
