A plumbing fixture assembly including a fluid flow detection system for monitoring fluid flow and flow characteristics through plumbing fixtures without contacting the fluid. The fluid flow detection system communicates collected data related to the plumbing fixtures to a water management system, which analyzes the data and provides information to a user through a portal and user interface. The fluid flow detection system also tracks users of the plumbing fixtures for compliance with a hand washing routine. The hand washing compliance data is communicated to the water management system as well.

A pot filler including a metered dispense input device for dispensing of predetermined volumes of water. The pot filler illustratively includes an electrically operable valve operably coupled to a metered dispense input unit, and a control module configured to control operation of the electrically operable valve.

The present invention provides a valve element cover plate, comprising a cover plate body. The cover plate body is provided with a water mixing valve mounting position and at least one switching valve mounting position. A cold water inlet, a hot water inlet and water outlets connected to water mixing valve mounting position are arranged on the back of the cover plate body; a water diverting channel is arranged in the cover plate body. A mixed water channel is arranged in the water mixing valve mounting position; fixing parts are arranged on the side of the cover plate body. The present invention has good sealing effect, and can maintain good sealing performance even when the cover plate body is deformed. It also has good filtering effect, and can effectively reduce the wear of downstream switching valve elements, and avoid blockage at the downstream outlets.

A method and apparatus for delivering water to a user at a control temperature by receiving cold water, receiving hot water and then adjusting a hot-side graduated-valve and a cold-side graduated-valve in order to adjust the temperature of mixed water according to an initial target temperature value. The temperature of the mixed water is sensed in order to provide feedback, which is necessary to adjust the hot-side graduated valve and the cold-side graduated valve. In some embodiments, hot-side graduated valve and the cold-site graduate-valve are also adjusted to achieve a target flow rate. A target temperature and a target flow rate is communicated to the apparatus by way of an air-gesture sensor.

A water control system including a showerhead and a tub faucet. The faucet has a valve configured to automatically restrict fluid flow through the faucet and direct fluid to the showerhead as a function of a parameter, such as a predetermined water temperature. The faucet has many modes of operation, including a Reset Mode, an Auto-Divert Mode, a Bypass Mode, and a Cold Mode. A flow control device generates minimal back-pressure when in the Reset Mode such that water does not undesirably back flow to a shower head.

A faucet user interface illustratively includes a support extending along a longitudinal axis, and a handle operably coupled to the support. In an illustrative embodiment, the handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis for controlling a first water parameter (e.g., water temperature), and the handle is axially movable along the longitudinal axis for controlling a second water parameter (e.g., water flow rate). In another illustrative embodiment, a first handle is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of a delivery spout for controlling a first water parameter, and a second handle is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the delivery spout for controlling a second water parameter.

A dial type operation switch comprises: an upper assembly including a display device; a lower assembly including an encoder; and a wheel assembly which rotates while surrounding the sides of the upper assembly and the lower assembly. Further, a knob switch comprises a push switch which is operated by pressing the display device in multiple directions, whereby a structure capable of various settings and operations is provided by combining the push switch with the rotation of the wheel assembly. In addition, a sink cabinet device comprises a bath sink and a functional module, wherein a bath sink lamp is provided and operation states of the sink cabinet device can be displayed using the bath sink lamp. Therefore, there is provided a structure in which the bath sink lamp can be used as a mood lamp for improving the beauty of a bathroom.

A temperature-regulating double-control automatic faucet includes a faucet body, a single-handle double-control mixed water valve core having a lever, a solenoid valve, a water pipe assembly, a controller, a magnetic induction device, and a proximity sensor. The single-handle double-control mixed water valve core is installed in the faucet body cylinder. The magnetic induction device is configured to detect a position change of the lever. The proximity sensor is configured to sense a manual operation. The automatic faucet has a manual control mode and a sensing control mode for use, which can be used conveniently.

A multifunctional restrictive valve for controlling the flow of water therethrough. The valve has a main body with a flow channel through the main body. The main body receives water upstream thereof through an inlet port and passes it out through an outlet port at the downstream end of the body. A flow control assembly is located in the flow channel and includes a temperature sensor/actuator acting on a piston to move, when the temperature sensor heats up the piston, to block water flow control ports. The flow control assembly also includes an override feature wherein the piston is located within a slide and the flow control ports are located in the slide. By moving the slide away from the piston when the piston is blocking the flow control ports, the temperature sensor and piston may be overridden and flow may resume through the main body.
