Hydrant enclosure with integral faucet
Provided is an enclosure with an integrated hydrant. The enclosure includes a fluid flow conduit that transfers fluid from a fluid supply tube to a fluid outlet, which may be associated with the backflow preventer. The enclosure has a conduit that carries water from the fluid supply tube to the backflow preventer. Thus, a lower profile, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing enclosure is provided.
Systems for connecting a central module to a network and related connectors
A system for connecting a central module to a network is provided. The system includes a central module having an inlet and an outlet; a first connector configured to be received at the inlet of the central module; a second, connector configured to be received at the outlet of the central module; and at least one fastening mechanism configured to secure the first and second connectors to the central module such that a sealed connection is provided through the central module to the network.
Pipe shaft module
A pipe shaft module and a method for mounting a pipe shaft module in a pipe shaft of a building, said pipe shaft module (1) comprising: —a pipe connection box (5); and—at least one pipe (7a, b, c) which is protruding into the pipe connection box (5) and which is provided to the pipe connection box such that it can slide along its length direction in relation to the pipe connection box, wherein said pipe connection box (5) comprises: —a pipe connection device (11) comprising at least one pipe connector (13a, b, c) for each pipe (7a, b, c) provided in the pipe shaft module (1), wherein said pipe connection device (11) is mounted within the pipe connection box (5) such that it can be moved within the pipe connection box (5) into at least two different positions where one position is a connection position in which the pipe connectors (13a, b, c) are positioned such that one pipe connector (13a, b, c) can be connected to each pipe (7a, b, c) of the pipe shaft module (1).
ON GRID/OFF GRID UTILITY KIOSK
A utility provisioning station for providing utility services to a consumer. The utility provisioning station includes a power supply, a water storage tank, a sewage storage tank, a communications module, an ecommerce interface, and a controller. The power supply supplies electrical power service to the consumer. The water storage tank retains and supplies water service to the consumer. The sewage storage tank provides wastewater services by receiving and retaining wastewater from the consumer. The communications module provides telecommunications services to the consumer. The ecommerce interface receives requests for selected utility services. The controller controls the power supply, the water storage tank, the sewage storage tank, and the communications module, and directs the selected utility services to be provided to the consumer.
Universal rough-in valve
A universal rough-in valve (20) includes a valve chamber (34) configured to receive a valve manifold (72). The universal rough-in valve includes a first valve inlet (22) configured to provide a pathway for fluid from a first supply line to the valve chamber and a second valve inlet (24) configured to provide a pathway for fluid from a second supply line to the valve chamber. The universal rough-in valve includes a first valve outlet (29) configured to provide a pathway for fluid from the valve chamber to a first outlet line, and a valve manifold (72) coupled to the valve chamber.
Integrated access box
An integrated access box for providing surface access to a curb box or other structure, and tracer wires in a single unit. The integrated access box generally includes a body having a first end and a second end and a first chamber (e.g., a curb box chamber or cleanout chamber) extending into the first end toward the second end of the body. The body may be substantially cylindrical in shape, and may include a first opening near the first end of the body and a first chamber access opening in the first chamber near the top of the body, and a tracer wire chamber extending into the body. The tracer wire chamber includes a second opening near the first end of the body. The integrated access box may further include a tracer wire access opening in the tracer wire chamber near the top of the body.
Wall installation connection box unit with an extension sleeve
A wall installation connection box unit, including a box housing body having a rear-side base portion and a sleeve portion projecting forward from the base portion, which sleeve portion peripherally surrounds an installation component mounting space, which space is accessible via an open front end face of the sleeve portion, an extension sleeve which is configured for coaxial arrangement on the sleeve portion and axial pushing back relative to the sleeve portion, and a retaining structure which allows axial pushing back of the extension sleeve on the sleeve portion from a mounting position to an end use position on variable axial level and retains the extension sleeve in the end use position on the sleeve portion. Illustratively, the retaining structure includes a retaining ridge structure radially projecting from the sleeve portion, which is formed integrally with at least one adjacent axial partial region of the sleeve portion from a sealing resilient material, and a counter-retaining structure cooperating with the retaining ridge structure in a frictionally engaged and/or form-locking manner, provided on the extension sleeve and made from a material which has greater stiffness as compared to the sealing resilient material. In addition or as an alternative, the wall installation connection box unit includes a spacer element which is attachable to the box housing body in a securing position in a detachable manner, where the spacer element secures the extension sleeve in the mounting position against axial pushing back.

Snap on meter pit extension
A pit and an extension, each having flanges extending perpendicular to an axis of the pit and extension. The pit includes holes extending outwardly in the wall of the pit, preferably these holes are located at one end of the pit. Surfaces of the flanges are configured to mate together and clips secure the flanges together to inhibit movement apart of the pit and extension along the axis. In certain embodiments, the extension includes support ribs which may be both interior and exterior and the extension narrows from its flange towards an opposite end thereof.
