Support for Extended Bonnet Trip Valve

Support for Extended Bonnet Trip Valve

Support for Extended Bonnet Trip Valve

(OP)
Does anyone know an appropriate method to support an extended bonnet valve with an actuator in a plants piping?  I have sized a 12"-600# Fisher type A11 cryogenic trip valve with an extended bonnet (33.5") that has a 700# actuator hanging off the end.

Our customer is requesting our support recommendation and since we don't do the plant layout and design (we are a turbomachinery OEM) we don't know.  The valve is to be installed in a vertical pipe.  Can I just suggest they use piping supports on the actuator to alleviate any side load imposed on the valve by the actuator?

(I apologize if this is the wrong area to post to, this is my first thread)

Kinda what I was thinking SlideRule, thanks.

Btw, yes, that is the valve.  The actuator my case would be propotionally larger piston type due to a torque requirement and there would be an extended bonnet that moves the actuator out 33.5".
