Claim:
1. A valve assembly comprising a valve support and at least one valve unit fitted in its position of use with its underside leading to a mounting surface of the valve support, wherein the valve unit comprises an electrically actuated valve with externally accessible first electric connecting means, and wherein electric signal transmission means with second electric connecting means accessible from the mounting surface are located in or on the valve support, wherein the valve unit further comprises an L-shaped connecting bridge mounted on the valve for the mutual electric connection of the first and second electric connecting means, the connecting bridge overlapping, with a first L-leg, the top side of the valve opposite its underside and projecting downwards, with a second L-leg extending in a height direction of the valve, laterally past a drive section of the valve containing electrically actuated drive means, wherein first electric mating connecting means located on the connecting bridge are contacted to the first electric connecting means of the valve and wherein second electric mating connecting means, which are located on the second L-leg and which are electrically connected to the first electric mating connecting means via electric connecting conductors of the connecting bridge, are electrically contacted to the second electric connecting means assigned to the valve support in the position of use of the valve unit, wherein the valve comprises in the region of the underside of the valve unit a mounting base, which is used for the mechanical fixation of the valve on the valve support and which has a base projection which laterally projects relative to the drive section located above and which is penetrated by the second L-leg of the connecting bridge.
