Abstract
A motorized ball valve has valve body with an actuator bracket receiver. The actuator bracket receiver has a pair of rails. The ball valve also includes a valve stem extending through the actuator bracket receiver and an actuator operably connected to the valve stem. A mounting bracket is connected between the actuator and the valve body to support the actuator. The mounting bracket is captured between the pair of rails of the actuator bracket receiver to offset torsional forces generated by the actuator.
