A valve support plate has a first aperture that receives a first fitting of the first valve, and a second aperture that receives a second fitting of the second valve. The valve support plate includes a securing interface that secures the first fitting of the first valve with the second fitting of the second valve and prevents independent rotational deflection of the first fitting and the second fitting.
