Abstract
An adjustable mounting bracket between a valve and an actuator has a bracket and a stem adapter operationally combined together. By selecting the bracket and the stem adapter having proper positioning holes, the mounting bracket is versatile in different combination. By adjusting combination depth of the bracket and the stem adapter, the height of the mounting bracket is adjustable to correspond with various stems on the valves. Therefore, the mounting bracket is flexible in types and applications.
