Abstract

A valve assembly includes a valve unit, which is mounted on a valve support and composed of a valve and a connecting bridge fitted to the valve. The connecting bridge is used for electrically contacting the valve to signal transmission means located in the valve support. It has an L-shape with a first L-leg overlapping the valve and a second L-leg projecting downwards laterally adjacent to the valve. For its location on the valve support, the valve is provided on its underside with a mounting base with a laterally protruding base projection, with which the connecting bridge engages with its second L-leg for stabilisation.
