<p>A valve modular control panel having (10) a gas supply module (14) at one end of a row of valve modules (12) and a bleed module (16) at the other end. Each valve module is individually controlled by its own valve mechanism. Gas under pressure is suppled to all of the valve modules (12) from an inlet (57) in the supply module (14) by a passage running through all of the valve modules (12) and terminating in the bleed module (16). A bleed passage runs through the valve modules and into the bleed module (16). All valve modules (12) are bled through the bleed module. The bleed module is also capable of exhausting the supply passage. The panel can be expanded or contracted to include any number of valve modules which are releasably secured together by a series of nuts (18) and tie rods (20). A protective shield (94) for the panel can be adjusted in size depending on the number of modules in the panel. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p>
