A faucet pipe fitting assembly, a faucet connecting structure and a faucet are disclosed. A faucet pipe fitting assembly includes a pipe joint unit and at least two pipes. The pipe joint unit has joint portions corresponding in number to the pipes. The pipes are integrally formed with the pipe joint unit. The pipes communicate with the joint portions of the pipe joint unit, respectively. The faucet pipe fitting assembly has the advantages of stable connection and convenient connection with a valve seat.

A two-handle automatic faucet includes a faucet body, a solenoid valve core, a controller, and a sensor. The solenoid valve core, the controller and the sensor are mounted to the faucet body. The controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valve core and the sensor. The controller controls action of the solenoid valve core according to a sensor signal of the sensor, so as to correspondingly control water flow of the two-handle automatic faucet. The controller and the solenoid valve core are installed to the faucet body, thus, it is convenient for a user to install the finished product of the two-handle automatic faucet.

A fluid dispensing device and method for controlling the device are provided. The device includes a housing defining a fluid outlet. A valve controls the flow of fluid to the outlet. A sensor is configured to detect an object outside of and proximate to the housing. A solenoid is configured to move the valve between an open position and a closed position. A controller is configured to receive the output signal of the sensor, determine a characteristic of noise in the output signal such as a level of noise, adjust at least one of a sampling rate of the output signal and an amount of filtering of the output signal responsive to the characteristic of noise in the output signal, and transmit a control signal to the solenoid responsive to the output signal.

A sanitary faucet having a faucet body; a mixing valve for mixing cold water and warm water to form a mixed water; and a thermostatic mixing valve for mixing cold and hot water to generate the warm water, containing an expansion material element and a gate valve operated by the expansion material element for adjusting a mixing ratio between the cold water and the hot water, wherein the expansion material element and the gate valve are arranged non-coaxially to each other, wherein the expansion material element can be used to operate the gate valve via a connection element, and wherein the connection element can be attached to the gate valve or the expansion material element and can subsequently be rotated into a closed position, in which the gate valve and the expansion material element are interconnected by the connection element. A method of installing a sanitary faucet is proposed.

A sanitary fitting, more particularly a thermostatic mixing valve, includes a housing, which has a valve seat for receiving a valve and into which at least one feed channel and a discharge channel open, wherein the at least one feed channel is led through a chamber, into which a backflow preventer is inserted and which is closed by a plug. A retaining frame is provided on the plug, which retaining frame protrudes into the chamber and by which retaining frame the backflow preventer is axially fixed.

Apparatus and methods for integrated emergency wash systems. Various embodiments include thermostatically controlled mixing valves arranged so as to permit load carrying by the body of the valve. Further, the integrated wash systems are especially suited for use in laboratories and manufacturing settings in which available space is at a premium

A water valve has a main body and at least two control valve sets. The main body has an upper cover and a base, the upper cover and the base correspondingly form an enclosed space and are locked with screws. The main body further has an input portion, two controlling portions and a containing chamber. The input portion connects to a water source, each controlling portion has a controlling chamber located in the main body and an outputting space. Each controlling chamber has a through aperture on a side connected to the containing chamber. Each of the control valve sets has a control valve with a knob, the knob has an extending valve tube configured to sleeve onto the controlling chamber of the controlling portion, and the knob is exposed from the main body; each valve tube further has a through hole capable of being aligned with the through aperture.

A control valve of a manual/automatic and cold/hot water faucet includes a sliding member, a linking member, and an operating member. The sliding member has a notch. The linking member is recessed with a connecting groove. The operating member has a valve stem and a linking portion. The linking portion drives the linking portion and the sliding portion through the connecting groove. The valve stem, the connecting groove and the central axis are arranged concentrically, so that the overlapping area of the notch and the cold water hole is equal to the overlapping area of the notch and the hot water hole to keep the same ratio of cold water to hot water in an automatic mode to dispense water, thereby increasing the safety in use.

The invention includes an assembly for remotely controlling fluid flow between a fluid source, such as a water source, and an outlet that includes at least one electrically operable valve, such as an electromagnetically-actuatable valve, to be interposed between the fluid source and the outlet, the valve being actuatable between an open position, in which the source and the outlet are fluidly connected, and a closed position in which the source and the outlet are not fluidly connected; at least one actuator, such as a solenoid actuator, operably connected to the at least one valve for actuating the valve between the open and closed positions; a controller comprising a receiver for receiving a wireless signal, wherein the controller is operably connected to the actuator and capable of actuating the actuator upon receipt of a wireless signal by the receiver; and an activator device comprising (i) a user-activatable sensor for detecting a stimulus when the stimulus enters a detection zone and (ii) a transmitter that transmits the wireless signal upon activation of the sensor by a user to the receiver. In an embodiment, it may be desirable that the electrically operable valves are also mechanically actuatable or that one or more (additional) manually activatable valves in included in the assembly.

The invention relates to a mixing cartridge (1) for generating mixed water with a mixing temperature, having a hot water inlet (2) for hot water, having a cold water inlet (3) for cold water, having a mixing chamber (4), in which the hot and cold water can be mixed, and having a mixed water outlet (5) through which the mixed water can leave the mixing cartridge (1). According to the invention, the mixing cartridge (1) has at least one vortex element (6), which is arranged and/or designed in such a way that the water flowing through the mixing cartridge in a flow direction can be made to rotate, such that the water can form a water vortex.
