When both a valve and an actuator have male shafts, such as in the case of a TTV butterfly valve and a Koei electric actuator, a mounting kit with a coupling is essential to ensure proper connection. Male shafts cannot directly fit together, so the mounting kit provides the necessary hardware to bridge the gap. The key component is the coupling, which is designed to link the two male shafts, allowing for torque transmission between the actuator and valve. This ensures that the actuator can effectively control the valve, delivering smooth and precise movement.

Mounting kits also include brackets and hardware to secure the actuator to the valve, ensuring alignment and preventing any misfits during operation. These kits are particularly useful in automated systems where consistency and reliability are critical. By using a mounting kit with a coupling, you can adapt various combinations of valves and actuators, even when both components have male drive shafts. This solution enhances system flexibility, making it easier to standardise or customise setups in industrial applications across sectors like water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
