A valved manifold module is disclosed, constructed and arranged to be readily connected in a chain with similar modules to form a manifold assembly. The modular manifolds allows for expansion or modification of the manifold assembly to control a group of pneumatically or hydraulically driven pumps, valves or combinations thereof in a liquid flow control apparatus. The valved manifold module can be configured to accept a group of four substantially identical valve assemblies, and can be controlled by a local controller mounted to the manifold module, thus forming an independently programmable valved manifold module. The resulting modular system is expandable to allow for coordinated operations of a liquid flow control system, using substantially independent controller functions originating at the manifold assembly level.

A manifold body includes a body block, with one or more end connections each extending laterally outward from a first surface of the body block, one or more lower valve cavities each recessed laterally inward from the first surface, one or more upper valve cavities each recessed laterally inward from the first surface and connected with a corresponding one of the one or more lower valve cavities by a vertically extending second passage, one or more lower end ports each extending laterally outward from a second surface of the body block and connected with a corresponding one of the one or more lower valve cavities by a laterally extending third passage, and one or more upper end ports each extending laterally outward from the second surface and connected with a corresponding one of the one or more upper valve cavities by a laterally extending fourth passage.

A valve has inlet and outlet port members with at least some having integrated sensor ports with sensors pre-provided in fluid tight connection to the sensor ports permitting a more compact construction than prior art systems.

An exemplary valve bank and/or modular control valve having a valve body, a valve member movable in a fluid flow of the valve body to control flow of fluid, and an onboard electronic controller that is operably mounted to the valve bank or valve body. The onboard controller is operably connected to at least one actuator of the valve, which is configured to control movement of the valve member in response to commands from the onboard controller. The onboard controller may provide diagnostics, feedback and/or control of the control valve, such as via inputs from one or more sensors that may be included in the valve. The modular control valve may be used with conventional non-intelligent valve banks to thereby impart smart diagnostics and/or feedback into the valve bank in a plug-and-play manner. A communications interface may be provided in the control valve to interface and communicate with an upper-level PLC controller.

A backflow prevention assembly is configurable with varying lay-lengths and orientations. The assembly includes coupling assemblies and valve bodies that adjust in length and/or rotation to allow for the varying lay-lengths and orientations of the backflow prevention valves and assemblies with and without certification. A coupling assembly is connected to a backflow prevention valve and includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve that is slidingly received within the outer sleeve. The lay-length is adjusted by slidably moving the inner and outer sleeves with respect to one another.

An apparatus comprises a mounting panel including a top plate having multiple vias and multiple orifices. An internal face of the top plate includes a first cut-out region and channels through which to flow a process fluid. The first cut-out region can be a reservoir in which to contain the process fluid. The multiple vias are adapted for passing the process fluid through the top plate. The multiple orifices are adapted for attaching a plurality of process fluid control components to the mounting panel. An inner plate also has multiple additional vias. The apparatus includes a bottom plate, where the inner plate is compacted between the top plate and the bottom plate to form an integral metallic body in which to contain and flow the process fluid.

An infrastructure monitoring assembly includes a nozzle cap defining an internal cavity; an antenna positioned at least partially external to the internal cavity; and the antenna covered with a non-metallic material. An infrastructure monitoring assembly includes a nozzle cap defining a first end and a second end, the first end defining a threaded bore configured to mount on a nozzle of a fire hydrant; a cover coupled to the nozzle cap opposite from the first end; an enclosure positioned at least partially between the cover and the first end, the enclosure at least partially defining a cavity; a monitoring device positioned within the cavity; and an antenna positioned between the cover and the first end of the nozzle cap, the antenna connected in electrical communication with the monitoring device, the antenna covered by a non-metallic material.

The disclosure relates to a sensor cleaning system for a vehicle having: at least one sensor cleaning module, wherein the sensor cleaning module has a valve unit, wherein the valve unit is configured for receiving compressed air via a module compressed air port and for selectively outputting the compressed air cleaning pulse via a cleaning compressed air port. The sensor cleaning module has a module reservoir and a pump mechanism, wherein the module reservoir is configured for receiving and storing the cleaning liquid provided via a module liquid port, and is connected to the pump mechanism for fluid transfer, and the pump mechanism is configured for providing the cleaning liquid in the form of a liquid cleaning pulse at a cleaning fluid port depending on a control signal.

A solenoid valve manifold 10 has: a wiring block 26 including a connector; a pedestal block 27 disposed on a solenoid valve aggregate; a support pin 32 that is provided to a support wall 31 provided to the pedestal block 27; a support hole 33 rotatably supports the wiring block 26; operation parts 43 that are provided at tip parts of leg portions 42 provided to end wall portions 34 of both ends of the wiring block; an engaging convex part 44 provided on each operation part 43; an engaging concave part 45 provided to the pedestal block 27 and engaged with the engaging convex part 44 when a connector 25 is held at an upright position; and an engaging concave part 46 engaged with the engaging convex part 44 when the connector 25 is held at a lateral position.
