A valved tap is disclosed comprising a tap body having a through bore from a threaded input end to an output end thereof. A globe valve is positioned in the valve body so as to interrupt the flow of fluid in the through bore. The output end of the tap body may comprise a flanged portion connectable to a manifold.

A high pressure fluid system including enhanced safety, maintenance and servicing features. The system can include a CAM assembly module, having a valve seat assembly, seal cartridge assembly and inlet manifold, that is easily installed in and removed from a frame and/discharge manifold as a single unit. A discharge manifold can isolate different pressure rated passageways of the system, and multiple rupture discs associated with the same. A discharge manifold end plate can be included to provide ease of repair of discharge outlets and to establish a plumbing system for the rupture discs. A quick coupler can facilitate connection between a plunger of the seal cartridge assembly and a cross head stub connected to a power frame. A lubrication valve assembly can provide and meter lubrication from a high pressure inlet source to a plunger and packing of the seal cartridge assembly.

A valve assembly can include a valve body and a stuffing box attached to the valve body, the stuffing box comprising a stuffing box body and a lifting lug extending from the stuffing box body. A method for lifting a valve assembly can include attaching a lifting mechanism to a lifting lug of the valve assembly and lifting the valve assembly with the lifting mechanism.

A manifold for water dispensing units, including a manifold body having: one or more inlet paths, an outlet path, a collecting chamber delimited by a lateral wall and communicating with the inlet paths and with the outlet path. The collecting chamber is configured to receive the insertion of a cartridge body for the regulation of flow. A safety group is associated to the manifold body (1a) and includes: a flange removably attached to the manifold body, a safety shutter provided with through inlet gaps and with shut-off surfaces and a control body for the movement of the safety shutter: from a first position in which the through inlet gaps communicate with the inlet paths and contrast means prevent the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, to a second position in which the shut-off surfaces sealingly close the inlet paths and sliding means allow the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, and vice versa.

A steam dispersion system includes a header defining a first end and a second end, a plurality of steam dispersion tubes extending upwardly from the header, a condensate drain outlet located at the first end, a hollow pipe positioned within the header, the pipe defining a length extending in a direction generally from the first end to the second end, the pipe defining a main humidification steam inlet located at the first end and a main steam outlet that is within the header. The hollow pipe is configured to receive steam flowing in from the main steam inlet toward the main steam outlet. The pipe may define a plurality of orifices along the length thereof for allowing steam flowing through the pipe to enter the header for distribution through the dispersion tubes. A steam re-direction structure directs steam flow leaving through the main steam outlet back toward the first end of the header.

The present invention relates to fluid control and management. In particular, it relates to valves or regulators for controlling a flow of fluid, such as, but not limited to, taps and faucets. We will describe a fluid control valve comprising a valve body having an inlet, for operative connection to a supply of pressurised fluid, and an outlet and defining a fluid flow path therebetween. A first valve is adjustable under the control of a first valve actuator between a first, or closed, position in which flow of fluid through the first valve is prevented and a second, or open, position in which flow of fluid through the first valve is permitted. The valve is characterised in that the fluid control valve further comprises a second valve associated with the inlet or intermediate the inlet and the first valve, wherein the second valve comprises a second valve body and a second valve actuator adapted such that the first valve actuator bears against the second valve actuator in each of said first and second positions to urge the second valve into an open configuration allowing flow of fluid; and further wherein the fluid control valve is arranged such that the first valve actuator is adjustable to a third position in which the first valve actuator is spaced from the second valve actuator by a separation sufficient to allow fluid pressure at the inlet to cause the second valve to close, preventing flow of fluid through the fluid control valve.
