It consists of an adaptor threaded into the center port of the valve bonnet, a rod threaded into the main valve stem, a heavy-duty stem seal, an actuating collar, and the switch unit. It may be installed on virtually any OCV control valve, and can be done so without any disassembly of the valve itself.
