Abstract
A superstructure is configured for use on a flow control, like a control valve. These configurations may have internal plumbing to carry fluid between parts of the valve. In one implementation, the plumbing connects a controller with an actuator to allow a pneumatic signal from the controller to pressurize the actuator. The internal plumbing forgoes the need for external pipes or tubes. This feature can simplify the assembly, as well as reduce the overall package size of the valve to avoid potential fit or interference issues at its location on a process line.
