Abstract: A gate valve and actuator for selectively opening and closing the gate valve. The gate valve has a housing having a passageway therethrough, a valve member moveable in the housing to selectively open and close the gate valve, and a connecting member connected to the valve member. The actuator has a linear actuator having a housing, a shaft selectively extendable from and retractable into the housing, a motor, and a bracket for connecting the linear actuator to the valve member. The bracket has a first pair of opposed slots having a length, and a second pair of opposed slots having a length greater than the length of the first pair of opposed slots. A securement mechanism selectively secures the connecting member between either the first pair of opposed slots or the second pair of opposed slots.
