The FAAC 422 CBAC 115V Single Arm Kit with Arctic Oil is a premium hydraulically-driven swing gate operator designed for residential and light commercial gates. Built to move gate leafs up to 10 feet in width and 900 lbs in weight, this operator uses Arctic-grade hydraulic fluid to ensure reliable performance even in extremely cold temperatures. The system includes hydraulic locks on both open and closed positions, a key-protected manual release for emergencies or power outages, and a self-lubricating mechanism for quiet, low-maintenance operation. Rated for 55 cycles per hour, this FAAC kit comes with a 455D control board, pre-wired enclosure, receiver, remote transmitters, and safety accessories to satisfy UL 325 safety compliance. Ideal for driveway gates, guarded communities, or any access point where durability and cold-weather resilience are critical.
Best suited for gates that require operation in cold climates due to Arctic Oil’s superior low-temperature performance.
Ensure gate leaf width does not exceed 10 ft and weight doesn't exceed 900 lbs for reliable operation.
Use with proper safety accessories: monitored photo-cells or safety sensors, loop detectors, positive gate stops, as required by UL 325.
For installations where the gate faces significant wind loads, consider additional locking or hardware reinforcement.
Keep remote transmitters, enclosure, and control board well protected against moisture; although the unit has good protection ratings, environmental sealing improves lifespan.
Mount the hydraulic actuator to the gate post and gate leaf using provided hardware.
Ensure precise alignment of the piston arm and mounting brackets.
Connect to a compatible FAAC control panel (e.g., 455D – not included).
Adjust hydraulic open/close pressure valves according to gate size.
Perform safety checks and system testing before finalizing the installation.
Weather-seal any exposed connections.
This equipment must be installed in compliance with UL 325 safety standards. Missing or incorrectly connected safety devices (photo-cells, loops, etc.) may violate code and be hazardous.
Do not attempt to adjust or repair hydraulic components unless trained; incorrect handling of hydraulic fluid or pressure systems can lead to injury.
Manual release must be accessible but secured; misuse could allow gate to move unexpectedly.
Winter operation: ensure Arctic Oil is used if ambient temperature falls below manufacturer’s recommended limits (often -33°F / -36°C). Using regular oil in such cold can cause sluggish performance or damage.
