Valve mounting adaptor
A mounting adaptor for a valve actuator includes a driver aperture configured to receive a valve actuator driver. The mounting adaptor further includes a plurality of mounting posts configured to engage a thermal riser or a valve attachment pad.
1. A valve assembly comprising:
a valve actuator having a driver;
a drive shaft coupled to the driver;
a valve having a valve control and a mounting pad, wherein the valve control is coupled to the drive shaft;
a thermal riser configured to be coupled to the mounting pad of the valve, the thermal riser having a shaft aperture configured to receive the drive shaft and a plurality of apertures in a surface of the thermal riser; and
a mounting adaptor configured to be coupled to the valve actuator and the thermal riser, the mounting adaptor having a driver aperture configured to receive the driver, wherein the mounting adaptor further comprises a plurality of mounting posts extending from a surface of the adaptor, the plurality of mounting posts configured to engage apertures of the thermal riser;
wherein the driver comprises a first set of grooves configured to engage the valve actuator and a second set of grooves configured to engage a different valve actuator.
2. The valve assembly of claim 1 , wherein there are three or more mounting posts.
3. The valve assembly of claim 2 , wherein the mounting posts are located equidistant to a point within the driver aperture.
4. The valve assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting pad includes a plurality of apertures formed therein and the posts are further configured to engage the apertures of the mounting pad.
5. The valve assembly of claim 1 , wherein the thermal riser comprises a heat resistive material.
6. The valve assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting adaptor comprises a heat resistive material.
7. A valve assembly comprising:
a valve actuator having a driver;
a valve having a valve control and a mounting pad, wherein the valve control is coupled to the driver, and wherein the mounting pad has a plurality of openings; and
a mounting adaptor configured to be coupled to the valve actuator and to the mounting pad of the valve, the mounting adaptor comprising a driver aperture and a plurality of mounting posts, the plurality of mounting posts configured to engage the plurality of openings of the mounting pad;
wherein the driver comprises a first set of grooves configured to engage the valve actuator and a second set of grooves configured to engage a different valve actuator.
8. The valve assembly of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of mounting posts comprises three or more mounting posts.
