Abstract
A clamp usable in the mounting of a lever-actuated valve unit on a fitting, and in the operation of a lever on such unit when the unit is so mounted, where mounting is accomplishable through the rotation of a nut in the fitting relative to the valve unit, and lever actuation is accomplishable through the use of an actuator placed in a selected position adjacent the lever. The clamp includes a portion adapted for clamping onto the nut in the fitting, and an extension portion designed for use in rotating the clamp, with the latter clamped onto the nut. The extension portion is adapted for supporting the actuator, with the unit so mounted, in its selected position adjacent the lever.
