English translation: valve tree

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering / Pozo de petr�leo costa afuera
Spanish term or phrase: árbol de válvulas
Contexto: instalación de un pozo de petróleo. Por momentos me tiento por X-mas tree, pero eso es armadura de surgencia y la armaduira de surgencia debe incluir más que las válvulas. ¿Alguna idea? Muchas gracias.

disagree  Steven Marzuola (X): Not at all correct. A valve tree (or Christmas tree) is a set of valves mounted on a wellhead. A valve shaft is a component of a single valve.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steven Marzuola (X): users in the field often write Christmas tree, but valve tree is correct. However, the reference from "iga.igg.cnr.it" should probably be ignored. It's almost certainly not written by a native English speaker.
