Embodiments of air admittance valve assembly and plumbing system incorporating the same are provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve assembly comprising a housing, a first valve comprising a first valve sealing member and a first valve seat, and a second valve comprising a second valve sealing member and a second valve seat, and a pipe, an inlet, an outlet, a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, the first and second valve sealing member is closed by gravity and open based upon the pressure differential between the first zone, second zone and third zone.

A drain pipe connector adapted to be disposed between a drain portal of a plumbing fixture and a sewage pipe. The drain pipe connector includes a first unidirectional valve adapted to be in fluid communication with the drain portal, and a drain trap in connected to the first unidirectional valve and adapted to be connected to the sewage pipe. The first unidirectional valve has a closed operative orientation, in which the first unidirectional valve forms a seal between the drain portal and the drain trap, and an open operative orientation which enables flow of fluid from the drain portal, via the first unidirectional valve, into the drain trap. The first unidirectional valve is normally closed, and when liquid drains into the first unidirectional valve, pressure applied by the liquid transitions the first unidirectional valve from the closed operative orientation to the open operative orientation, thereby enabling the liquid to flow into the drain trap.

An apparatus includes a manifold heat exchange fitting (32) configured to collect a plurality of fluid streams of fluids having different fluid densities. The fitting includes a body (52) with a generally open fluid collection interior area (56). The body of the heat exchange fitting is positioned in a central fluid path that includes a body inlet (58) and a body outlet (60). A plurality of fluid stream fitting openings (76) in the body are connectable to fluid streams of fluids having different densities delivered from water discharge devices such as an autoclave, a steam sterilizer in the steam cooler. The fluid streams of the fluids having different densities collected in fluid communication in the fluid collection interior area may undergo heat exchange prior to discharge from the body outlet.

This pump includes a computing device, with a vibration waveform analysis section and a memory, the analysis section being designed to control the motor, by comparing a vibration waveform received from the vibration sensor with vibration waveforms saved in the memory.

Recovery system for the recovery of thermal energy from waste water from building, which system comprises a heat pump adapted to absorb thermal energy from a non-freeze liquid circulating through the heat pump and arranged to deliver thermal energy to water flowing through the heat pump, a heat exchanger device that is in contact with said waste water, and a pipeline system disposed between the heat pump and the heat exchanger device, and in which non-freeze liquid can circulate. The heat exchanger device is designed so that the non-freeze liquid passes through the heat exchanger device, whereby the non-freeze liquid is able to absorb thermal energy from the waste water. Further, the system comprises a collector tank, and a pipeline system for supplying waste water to the collector tank. The heat exchanger device is disposed in the collector tank, wherein the non-freeze liquid can absorb thermal energy from waste water in the collector tank.

A shower system includes a shower waterway and a fluid control valve. The shower waterway is configured to be coupled to a shower device. The fluid control valve is coupled to the shower waterway and comprises a valve body and a piston. The valve body includes a chamber and a reservoir. The piston is slidably coupled to the valve body and fluidly separates the chamber from the reservoir. The chamber includes a compressible gas. The piston is configured to slidably translate within the valve body to compress the compressible gas in response to a water pressure fluctuation in the shower waterway.

A quick-assembly deodorant drainer for washbasin. The deodorant drainer comprises a drainer body including a mounting portion mounted in a water outlet of the washbasin and extends downward, a connecting portion mounted at a lower end of the mounting portion and is provided with a deodorant anti-overflow device, and a sewer pipe connected to a lower end of the connecting portion, shaped as a cylindrical straight pipe, and is provided with at least one bending portion. Wherein, the deodorant anti-overflow device includes a cylinder and a sealing cover, an upper end of the cylinder is open and a water-flow hole is disposed at a lower end thereof, and a cylindrical convex portion is disposed at an inner bottom portion of the cylinder and extends upwardly; the convex portion is internally provided with a through hole, and the sealing cover is disposed at the bottom of the cylinder.
