    Abstract: A kit comprising a control device (140, 240, 340) and an adapter (100, 200, 300) for attaching the control device (140, 240, 340) to a valve arrangement (120, 220) such that a valve spindle (121, 221) of the valve arrangement (120, 220) is connected to and controllable by the control device (140, 240, 340). The adapter (100, 200, 300) is configured to engage with the valve arrangement (120, 220) via a first connection being a snap-fit connection and to engage with the control device (140, 240, 340) via a second connection. The snap-fit connection is formed by a first interlocking part (203a, 203b, 303a, 303b) provided on an inside (202, 302) of the adapter (100, 200, 300) engaging a second interlocking part (222a, 222b) of the valve arrangement (120, 220) such that the adapter (100, 200, 300) is retained to the valve arrangement (120, 220). The first interlocking part (203a, 203b, 303a, 303b) is movable in a resilient manner in a radial direction (R) such that, when the adapter (100, 200, 300) becomes engaged with the valve arrangement (120, 220), the first interlocking part (203a, 203b, 303a, 303b) expands in the radial direction (R) and thereafter snaps back in the radial direction (R) to form the snap-fit connection. The second connection is configured such that the adapter (100, 200, 300) is retained to the control device (140, 240, 340) and such the first interlocking part (203a, 203b, 303a, 303b) is prevented from expanding in the radial direction (R) when the adapter (100, 200, 300) is engaged with the control device (140, 240, 340) via the second connection.
