Abstract
A remote valve control apparatus includes a single lever connected to a pair of valve actuators so that two valves can be operated in conjunction with one another from a remote location to carry out plural functions simultaneously. The apparatus includes a housing presenting a pair of elongated cavities within which the actuators are received, and the housing is constructed of a pair of molded housing elements each forming one half of the housing. The housing elements are exactly identical to one another such that a single mold shape can be used to form both elements. The lever is supported on the housing for universal pivotal movement so that upon manipulation of the lever, the actuators are shifted axially between non-actuated and actuated positions. The direction and extent of movement of each actuator is dependent on the direction and extent of movement of the lever relative to the housing.
