Gas admission valve assembly includes a housing, an elongated valve guide disposed within a central bore of the housing, a valve including a valve stem slidably disposed within the valve guide and a valve head selectively engagable with a valve seat of the housing to control flow between gas entry and exit openings into a housing entry chamber. First and second stem seals are disposed at opposite ends of the valve guide in sealing engagement with the valve stem between the valve stem and the central bore of the housing distally and the valve guide proximally.

Provided is a mixer faucet configured such that a lubricant can be effectively supplied. The mixer faucet includes a fixed valve body and a movable valve body. The fixed valve body includes a hot water supply hole, a cold water supply hole, a drain hole, a first sliding surface, and a lubricant retention portion. At least a part of the lubricant retention portion is provided in a circumferentially extended region of the hot water supply hole and a circumferentially extended region of the cold water supply hole. In the circumferentially extended region, only the first sliding surface is present between the hot water supply hole and the lubricant retention portion. In the circumferentially extended region, only the first sliding surface is present between the cold water supply hole and the lubricant retention portion.

An electric power tool includes a holder, a motor, and a transmission mechanism. The motor includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor includes a rotary shaft and a rotor body. The rotary shaft is coupled to the transmission mechanism. The rotator includes at least the rotor body. The rotator rotates. The electric power tool further includes an absorbing member. The absorbing member has a property to absorb a lubricant. The absorbing member is arranged between the rotator and the transmission mechanism.

A system and methods according to which a controller communicates control signals to a first frac leg, which includes a wellhead operably associated with a first wellbore, a valve operably coupled to the wellhead, opposite the first wellbore, a frac line operably coupled to the wellhead, and a zipper module operably coupled to the frac line, opposite the wellhead. The first frac leg includes a first sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. A grease system lubricates the first frac leg and the zipper module. The grease system includes a second sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. A second frac leg is operably associated with a second wellbore. The second frac leg includes a third sub-controller that receives control signals from the controller. The first, second, and/or third sub-controllers may receive control signals from the controller via a communication bus.

Methods and apparatus according to which a first valve is opened, or kept open, the first valve being part of a wellhead including a flow component above the first valve. The method may further include detecting a state of the first valve and, in response to detecting the state of the first valve, metering an amount of grease to the first valve. In addition, or instead, the method may further include opening, or keeping open, a second valve, the second valve being operably coupled to the wellhead and positioned above the flow component, and, after opening, or keeping open, each of the first and second valves, detecting whether the second valve is open or closed, in response to detecting that the second valve is open, preventing the first valve from being closed, and in response to detecting that the second valve is closed, allowing the first valve to be closed.

An apparatus, system, and method for bleeding off a hydraulic fracturing manifold used in oil and gas extraction operations.

Grease distribution systems for lubricating a plurality of fracking valves on a wellhead include a distribution manifold configured for mounting on or adjacent to the wellhead, stand mount, mobile skid, grease skid or trailer. The distribution manifold includes a plurality of manifold valves configured for coupling in fluid communication with the fracking valves, respectively, on the wellhead. A grease pump is disposed in fluid communication with the distribution manifold. Methods of lubricating fracking valves on a wellhead are also disclosed.
