Explanation:
What it means, I think, is that in this situation you don't position the valves so that they're aligned exactly side by side, because if you do they may interfere with each other, depending on the distance between the pipes; you offset them so that there's room to manipulate each one.

In other words, literally, you position them "displacing/separating them relative to each other".
