An integrated valve and manifold assembly includes a water valve configured to control water flow from one or two valve outlets. At least one of the outlets is coupled to a manifold. In some examples, the manifold is a dual-extrusion manifold having at least one air channel and at least one water conduit, and the water valve has a pair of air channels attached to a periphery of the water valve and configured to couple to the manifold air channels. In examples wherein at least one of the manifolds is a dual-extrusion manifold, a top portion of the assembly includes an air valve configured to control flow of air to air channel(s) of the dual-extrusion manifold. In other examples, the assembly includes a one-outlet or two-outlet water valve configured to couple to water manifolds, with no attached air channels or air valves.

A water delivery device includes a body, a user interface, a mixing valve, a first capacitive sensor pad, and a second capacitive sensor pad. The body includes a spout. The user interface is provided on the spout. The mixing valve is contained within the body and is configured to be in fluid communication with a hot water source and a cold water source. The first capacitive sensor pad is provided below the user interface. The second capacitive sensor pad is provided below the user interface laterally adjacent to the first capacitive sensor pad, and is physically separated from the first capacitive sensor pad.

A mass flow control apparatus and methods for calibrating and tuning the mass flow apparatus are provided. The mass flow apparatus can be calibrated by receiving a calibration input signal that provides one or more properties of a gas that is flowing through a main fluid flow path and performing one or more measurements, using one or more sensors, on the gas. The calibration includes determining a calibration parameter based on the results of the one or more measurements and the calibration input signal and adjusting a proportional valve, based on the calibration parameter, to adjust a flow rate, of the gas through the apparatus, to match a setpoint flow rate.

A command device for a water supply plumbing fixture that extends along a main axis and has a base group fluidically connectable to at least one inlet line and to supply lines, and an activation and regulation group engaged with the base group is provided. The activation and regulation group has a plurality of activation members configurable in an active configuration and a passive configuration in which the activation members respectively allow or prevent passage of water to a respective supply line, and a regulation member having an annular adjustment crown angularly rotatable, the activation members being housed at least in part within the adjustment crown, and a valve element, housed at least in part inside the adjustment crown, engaged with the base group and with the adjustment crown, so that each angular position of the adjustment crown corresponds to a respective configuration of the valve element.

A flow path switching device of the present disclosure includes a case comprising a first nozzle into which fluid flows from an indoor unit, a second nozzle which sends fluid to the indoor unit, a plurality of inner outflow pipes through which fluid supplied from the first nozzle flows, a plurality of inner inflow pipes through which the fluid supplied to the second nozzle flows, and a flow path connection portion in which a space is formed to communicate the plurality of inner outflow pipes with the first nozzle or to communicate the plurality of inner inflow pipes with the second nozzle; a valve which is rotatably disposed in the space of the flow path connection portion, and has a first chamber connecting one of the plurality of inner inflow pipes and the first nozzle according to disposition, and a second chamber connecting one of the plurality of inner outflow pipes and the second nozzle according to disposition; and a motor which is disposed in one side of the valve, and rotates the valve, wherein the plurality of inner outflow pipes and the plurality of inner inflow pipes are disposed in the same one side direction of the flow path connection portion and are spaced apart from each other in a direction in which a rotation shaft around which the valve rotates is formed.

The invention relates to a single-lever, timed mixer tap comprising a push-button that makes it possible to control the passage of water between at least one water-supply inlet, in particular two inlets for hot water and cold water, respectively, and at least one outlet for the mixed water, a mixing block having a portion that is rotatably movable in relation to a stationary portion in order to vary the temperature of the mixed water, and a timer cartridge, characterised in that the mixing block and the timer cartridge are mounted separately from one another and the push-button is mounted translatably and rotatably movable, and in that at least one member for transmitting the movement of the push-button is provided, which is designed to transmit a translational movement to an actuator rod of the timer cartridge as well as a rotational movement to the movable portion of the mixing block.

A thermostatic device includes: a housing and a regulator, the one moving in translation with respect to the other in order to regulate the rate of water flow; a thermoactuator comprising a primary part and a secondary part moving in translation depending on the temperature, the primary part and the regulator being translationally fixed; a slide, that can move in translation with respect to the housing and is rotationally fixed with respect to the housing; and an overtravel spring applying a primary return force on the slide. In order to absorb an overtravel of the thermoactuator while improving compactness and the ease of manufacture, the overtravel spring bears against the housing and the thermostatic device comprises a rotary drive part in helical connection with the slide and being fixed in translation with respect to the secondary part.

A control valve of a manual/automatic and cold/hot water faucet includes a sliding member, a linking member, and an operating member. The sliding member has a notch. The linking member is recessed with a connecting groove. The operating member has a valve stem and a linking portion. The linking portion drives the linking portion and the sliding portion through the connecting groove. The valve stem, the connecting groove and the central axis are arranged concentrically, so that the overlapping area of the notch and the cold water hole is equal to the overlapping area of the notch and the hot water hole to keep the same ratio of cold water to hot water in an automatic mode to dispense water, thereby increasing the safety in use.
