ABSTRACT:
A remote valve control device is provided, comprising first and second perpendicularly oriented shafts connected by a linkage comprising either a universal joint or a pair of bevel gears. The linkage converts rotational movement of the first shaft about a first axis to rotational movement of the second shaft about a second axis. A valve attachment, connected to the end of the second shaft opposite the linkage, converts rotational movement of the second shaft about the second axis to rotational movement about a third axis of rotation generally parallel to the second axis, so that rotation of the first shaft about the first axis of rotation rotates the valve attachment about the third axis of rotation to open and close the valve. A handle attached to the end of the first shaft opposite the linkage provides means to manually control the operation of the remote valve control device. The device, which is generally L-shaped, may be mounted alongside both of a pair of perpendicular walls, thereby providing easily accessible remote control of the valve which might otherwise be inaccessible.
