Testing cap for a valve body
A testing cap for a valve body includes a base configured to releasably attach to the valve body and to cover an opening in the valve body. The opening is configured to receive a valve cartridge and the base covers the opening in place of the valve cartridge. The testing cap includes a structure extending from the base. The structure is configured to be oriented relative to the valve body in a first orientation and a second orientation. The structure allows fluid to enter the valve body through an inlet port in the valve body and exit the valve body through an outlet port in the valve body when the structure is oriented in the first orientation. The structure covers at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port when the structure is oriented in the second orientation, thereby preventing fluid flow through the valve body.
ROUGH-IN VALVE ASSEMBLY AND FLUSH PLUG
A flush plug for a rough-in valve, wherein the flush plug is configured to be removably disposed in a rough-in valve chamber, and comprises an inlet/outlet pair defining a flow passageway, wherein when disposed in the rough-in valve chamber, in a first flush plug position, the flow passageway is configured to provide flow communication between a first fluid source and a first plumbing outlet, and in a second flush plug position, the flow passageway is configured to provide flow communication between a second fluid source and the first plumbing outlet; and wherein the first fluid source and the second fluid source are not in flow communication.
SWITCHING VALVE
A switching valve includes a valve body, a diaphragm, and a driving assembly. The valve body includes a valve cavity, a water inlet, a first water outlet, and a second water outlet in communication with the valve cavity. The diaphragm includes two unsealing parts connected with the driving assembly and respectively arranged opposite to the first water outlet and the second water outlet. Each unsealing part can control opening or closing of the first water outlet or the second water outlet. The driving assembly can individually drive each of the unsealing parts to switch between opening and closing such that at least one of the first water outlet and the second water outlet is in an open state.
PUSH-BUTTON TYPE UPPER WATER INLET SHOWER COLUMN
The present invention discloses a push-button type upper water inlet shower column, which comprises an upper fixing seat connected with a water inlet tube, a water inlet channel and a water distribution valve core which can be communicated are arranged in the upper fixing seat, the water distribution valve core comprises a first water outlet hole and a second water outlet hole, and the first water outlet hole and the second water outlet hole can discharge water separately or in combination; the upper fixing seat is provided with a first water outlet channel connected with the first water outlet hole, and the upper fixing seat is provided with a second water outlet channel connected with the second water outlet hole; a lower fixing seat is arranged below the upper fixing seat, a connecting rod that can go up and down is arranged between the lower fixing seat and the upper fixing seat, the upper end of the connecting rod is connected with the water distribution valve core, the lower fixing seat is provided with a push button, the push button is connected with the other end of the connecting rod through a linkage mechanism to realize the lifting of the connecting rod, and the push-button type upper water inlet shower column can not only realize single water outlet, but also realize mixed water outlet.
BATHROOM FIXTURES AND COMPONENTS
A toilet installed in a bathroom includes a toilet bowl and a tank coupled to the toilet bowl. The tank can contain fluid for the toilet bowl. A rear surface of the tank is flush against a wall of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the wall and a bottom surface of the tank is flush against a floor of the bathroom such that there is no gap between the tank and the floor. The tank extends longitudinally above and below the toilet bowl and laterally outward past the toilet bowl such that a first side surface and a second side surface of the tank define outermost side peripheries of the toilet.
FLUID DISTRIBUTION UNIT FOR SANITARY CHANGEOVER FITTINGS
A distribution unit for sanitary changeover fittings for installation in a wall, includes a manifold with an inlet duct and at least two outlet ducts and a control block with an inlet duct and at least two valve seats for receiving a valve upper part each, which are connected to the inlet duct, wherein the inlet duct of the manifold is connected to the inlet duct of the control block and the outlet ducts of the manifold are connected to a valve seat each of the control block, in each case via a pipe section, and wherein, via the pipe sections, the control block is connected to the manifold in a manner such that these can move relative to one another.
SIMPLE WATER OUTFLOW DEVICE
A simple water outflow device which is an outflow device with an inflow pipe and an outflow pipe. The simple water outflow device consists of a body, an inflow pipe, and an outflow pipe. A discharge control valve is installed inside the body. The outflow pipe and body are a one-piece design created using injection molding technology. The inflow pipe is soft and flexible. There is an axial inflow channel and radial groove inside the body. The groove and the inflow channel are perpendicularly connected. There is a circular magazine on the upper end of the inflow pipe. A leakproof O-shape ring is placed on the circular magazine. The upper end of the inflow pipe is inserted into the inflow channel. A C-shape shackle is inserted into the groove of the body, and shackled into the circular magazine of the inflow pipe. This secures the inflow pipe on the body.
Remote control water outlet device
A remote control water outlet device comprises a faucet and a control assembly. The faucet is connected to one or more water inlet pipes and a water outlet pipe assembly, and the control assembly is separated from the faucet by a distance. The control assembly controls the water outlet pipe assembly to be opened and to be closed. The water outlet pipe assembly comprises a water inlet passage and a water outlet passage in communication with the control assembly. The control assembly comprises a pressure relief cavity in communication with the water inlet passage and a sealing gasket configured to abut and block inlets of the water outlet passage due to being subjected to water pressure in the pressure relief cavity. The sealing gasket comprises a control hole configured to be opened to enable the pressure relief cavity be in communication with the water inlet passage.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE ABLUTIONARY DEVICES
A control system for one or more ablutionary devices includes a mixer valve having a first inlet and a second inlet configured to receive a supply of hot and cold water, and an outlet configured to output cold water, hot water or a mixture thereof as an output stream for suppling water to the one or more ablutionary devices downstream of the mixer valve; and a controller. The controller is configured obtain one or more current operating signals related to the flow rate of the output stream produced by the mixer valve and compare each of the one or more current operating signals to a corresponding historical operating signal, the historical operating signal being an operating signal previously obtained by the controller, and to generate a diagnostic signal based on the comparison.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE ABLUTIONARY DEVICES
A control system for one or more ablutionary devices includes a valve having one or valve members each arranged to receive a respective water supply via one or more supply inlets, and an output for suppling output water to the one or more ablutionary devices downstream of the valve, the one or more valve members being arranged to control the flow of water between the one or more supply inlets and the output; one or more temperature sensors arranged to generate a respective temperature signal indicative of the temperature of any one or more of the water supply upstream of any one or more of the valve members, and the output water downstream of the one or more valve members; and a controller in communication with the one or more temperature sensors. The controller is configured to obtain one or more temperature signals from the one or more temperature sensors when the one or more ablutionary devices are not in use and to generate an indicator signal based on a comparison of the one or more temperature signals to one or more thresholds.
