    摘要: Assemblies for protecting valve actuators from water intrusion and methods of making and using the same are described. The assembly comprises a valve, a valve actuator, and a cover. The valve comprises a body and a stem. The stem is movable between a first valve position permitting passage of fluid through a flow passage in the body and a second valve position occluding passage of fluid through the flow passage. The valve actuator comprises an adapter coupled to the stem movable between a first actuator position placing the stem in the first valve position and a second actuator position placing the stem in the second valve position. The cover is disposed over the valve actuator and comprises an upper surface and a sidewall defining an inner cavity. The cover has an open bottom so as to permit air to circulate into the inner cavity and around the valve actuator.
