REMOTE-OPERATED FLUSHING SYSTEM
Example aspects of a remote-operated flushing system and a method of operating a flushing system are disclosed. The remote-operated flushing system can comprise a fluid routing assembly comprising a valve, the valve configurable in an open configuration, wherein fluid is permitted to flow through the fluid routing assembly, and a closed configuration, wherein the fluid is prohibited from flowing through the fluid routing assembly; and a control device configured to actuate the valve between the open configuration and closed configuration; a remote operation device wirelessly connected to the control device and configured to remotely operate the control device to control the actuation of the valve between the open configuration and closed configuration.
Underground pipe repair and protection system
A method and apparatus provides an enclosed pipe repair where two pipe segments extend through first and second ends of the enclosure to a volume in the enclosure housing the repair. The enclosure surrounds the repair to hopefully prevent roots from accessing the repair in many cases, and if a second problem exists, to provide access to the site of the repair through a lid in the enclosure.
DEVICE FOR CLEANING, ESPECIALLY THE PIPES OF THE DRINKING WATER CIRCUIT OF AN AIRCRAFT
The invention relates to a cleaning device, in which said device is supplied with liquid. The device is characterised in that it comprises a mobile chassis supporting a plurality of functional subassemblies necessary for the production of a hot liquid in a condensing gas boiler with sealed combustion chamber. The invention can be used to clean the pipes in an aircraft.
Mixing valve
A valve including a housing having a first inlet chamber defined by a first chamber wall and configured to receive the cold water, a second inlet chamber defined by a second chamber wall and configured to receive the hot water, and a mixing chamber configured to receive the cold water from the first inlet chamber and the hot water from the second inlet chamber, wherein at least a portion of the mixing chamber is located between the first and second chamber walls; a first flow control valve extending through the first inlet chamber and moveable relative to the housing for controlling the flow of cold water from the first inlet chamber to the mixing chamber; and a second flow control valve extending through the second inlet chamber and moveable relative to the housing for controlling the flow of hot water from the second inlet chamber to the mixing chamber.
SHOWER HEAD WITH INTEGRATED MIXING VALVE
A shower head having a stem; a spray head coupled to the stem; a mixing valve located within the stem or the spray head, the mixing valve having a first valve member assembly for controlling a first fluid flow to a mixing chamber and a second valve member assembly for controlling a second fluid flow to the mixing chamber. Each valve member assembly includes a spool, a first valve member on the spool that engages with a first valve seat in a closed position and a second valve member on the spool that engages with a second, separate, valve seat in the closed position. An electrically powered first motor is located within the stem or the spray head. The first motor is coupled to the first valve member assembly to control movement of the first valve member assembly to control the flow of the first fluid to the mixing chamber.
Plumbing fixture with mixing valve and controller
A showerhead that is configured to receive a supply of cold water and a supply of hot water. The showerhead includes a body, a mixing valve within the body that includes a first actuator within the mixing valve for controlling a first flow control valve within the mixing valve and a second actuator within the mixing valve for controlling a second flow control valve within the mixing valve, and a controller on or within the body that is configured to send a control signal to control actuation of the first actuator and the second actuator.
MIXING VALVE
A mixing valve having a housing and first and second flow control valves. The housing has a mixing chamber, a first outlet, and a second outlet. The first flow control valve controls fluid flow through the first outlet to the mixing chamber, and the second flow control valve controls fluid flow through the second outlet to the mixing chamber. The first and second outlets each have a size so that the mixing valve has a flow coefficient of approximately 2.5 in a mid-open position of both flow control valves, and the housing has a length dimension, a width dimension, and a thickness dimension, and the largest of these dimensions is no more than approximately 65 millimeters.
LEAD SERVICE WATER PIPE LINE REMOVAL APPARATUS AND METHOD
An apparatus and a method of extracting buried lead water supply pipe with minimal excavation and which allows removal and containment of the lead pipe. The extraction apparatus includes a frame having an adjustable height mast and a plurality of guide pulleys with at least a first guide pulley mounted on the frame and at least a second guide pulley mounted on the mast. A first cable with a length closely matching the length of the pipe being removed is directed through the buried pipe and connected thereto by a leading collet and a lagging collet which are secured to opposite free ends of the lead pipe. A pulling cable preferably extends from leading collet and is directed around the first and second guide pulleys before being connected to a winch or the like. The mast height is adjusted so that the distance between the first and second guide pulleys is at least that of the length of the pipe being removed.
Pipe cleaning apparatus, use, system, and method
A debris removal method includes at least any one step of varying i) flow, ii) turbulence, and iii) pressure, within a pipe gas stream. Another embodiment is a cleaning system including a viewer to view inside pipe, and a turbulator associated with the viewer, to vary in a gas stream any of flow, pressure, and turbulence.
Sanitary Fitting and Sanitary Fitting System
A sanitary fitting including a fitting body, a water connection, a water outlet or water exit and a movable operating element having a lever, wherein the lever is rotatable about a first axis of rotation to control a water temperature and is tiltable about a second axis of rotation to control a water flow. According to the invention, a sensor device for detecting various positions of the lever of the movable operating element relative to a fixed position of the fitting body is arranged in the fitting body. The sanitary fitting can advantageously be combined with a mixing unit which can be electronically controlled by means of the operating element, the mixing unit having a connection for cold water, a connection for hot water, a connection for a mixed water line connectable to the sanitary fitting, at least two independently controllable valves for setting the temperature and volume flow of the mixed water to be dispensed via the connection for the mixed water line and drives controlling the valves. The sanitary fitting according to the invention offers intuitive manual operation for setting the water temperature and flow rate and enables improved hygienic flushing.
