Mode of operation
The tie rod for MPA-L consists of four
parts:
 Threaded rod
 Tie rod extender
 Sleeve
 Screw
This enables valve terminals of any
length to be created.
The tie rod and valve terminal are
assembled in just four steps:
 Screw the threaded rods to the
left-hand end plate
 Screw the sleeves to the threaded
rods
 Push the sub-bases and supply
modules onto the rod/sleeve
combination
 Push on the right-hand end plate
and secure with screws that engage
into the sleeves
The tie rod enables subsequent
extension of the valve terminal. This is
done by loosening the tie rod screws
and disassembling the relevant
components. The additional sub-base
or supply module is inserted at the
required location. The previously
disassembled components are then
re-assembled.
To compensate for the change in
length, the tie rod must be extended
by the increase in length. This is done
by screwing in extenders between the
threaded rod and sleeve. There are
suitable extenders for each sub-base,
combination of four sub-bases and
supply module.
