A fluid-distribution system for use with one or more vehicle sub-systems in a vehicle includes a first transfer conduit, a second transfer conduit, and a valve unit. The first transfer conduit defines a first interior space and is coupled to a fluid source to receive and direct a fluid through the first interior space. The second transfer conduit defines a second interior space and is spaced apart downstream from the first transfer conduit. The valve unit extends between and interconnects the first transfer conduit and the second transfer conduit.

A diaphragm valve (1) having a diaphragm (3) that is clamped between two housing parts (9, 10), and wherein by way of the diaphragm (3), a valve seat (6) can be opened and closed. At least one clamping region (23) is formed radially outside of a clamping region (8), which clamping region (23) protrudes from the clamping region (8), and on the end face of which a sealing surface (11, 12) is formed.

A substrate container including a plate, a shell, a connector, and a seal, where the connector is threaded and secured via a nut, and the seal contacts each of the shell, plate, and connector. The plate has a recess accommodating an end of the connector and the nut. Field-serviceable, removable purge modules including check valves may be used with the substrate container, and may be secured to the substrate container in the recess in the plate. Filters may be secured to the connector or included in the purge modules. These filters may have diameters larger than an internal diameter of the connector.

A valve includes an actuation assembly including a drive device that generates a driving force, a needle shaft connected, at one end thereof, to the drive device to receive the driving force from the drive device and perform linear motion, a needle nut that is coupled to the drive device and that has an empty space through which the needle shaft passes, so as to guide the linear motion of the needle shaft, and a valve disc coupled to an opposite end of the needle shaft, a body is coupled with the actuation assembly and that has a valve opening inside, the valve opening being selectively opened or closed as the valve disc, which is inserted into the body in which water flows, performs linear motion, and a clip that fixes the body and the actuation assembly such that the body and the actuation assembly are not separated from each other.

A housing assembly for a manifold includes a first housing with an inlet and a plurality of outlets, a second housing, and a valve retainer engaged with the first and second housings. The valve retainer includes a retention plate defined between first and second surfaces, a plurality of slot walls extending from the first surface, and a protruding edge that extends from a flanged lip and surrounds the plurality of slot walls. The retention plate defines a plurality of slots corresponding to the plurality of slot walls. The first housing may define a groove that receives the protruding edge, and the second housing may include a rim that engages the flanged lip of the valve retainer. Valve housings including first and second mating structures separated by wall segments may be positioned in outlets of the first housing and corresponding slots of the valve retainer.

Pre-insulated valves (102, 144) for a fluid system, comprising valve body (104, 146) having lugs (128, 168). The valves (102, 144) comprises first insulating layer (134, 172) comprising an inner surface (136, 174) being adapted to cover an entire outer surface (132, 176) of the plurality of lugs (128, 168) and an entire outer surface (130, 170) of the valve body (104, 146) such that the first insulating layer (134, 172) is in close physical contact with the outer surface (130, 170) of the valve body (104, 146) including an outer surface (132, 176) of the plurality of lugs (128, 168). The valves (102, 144) comprises second insulating layer (138, 178) comprising an inner surface (140, 180) being adapted to be in close physical contact with an entire outer surface (137, 182) of the first insulating layer (134, 172).

A valve assembly includes a first body portion, a second body portion secured to the first body portion, and a cage positioned between the first body portion and the second body portion. The cage has a generally cylindrical body, a bore formed longitudinally through the body, a top surface, an opposing bottom surface, an exterior surface, an opposing interior surface, and an integral, unitary annular flange extending from the exterior surface and around a perimeter of the cage. The annular flange includes a first surface configured to engage the first body portion to form a seal between the cage and the first body portion and a second surface configured to engage the second body portion to form a seal between the cage and the second body portion.

A valve device includes a body, a joint, a check valve, a valve seat fixation member having an outer peripheral surface on which an external thread is provided, and a sealing member. The body has an attachment hole that attaches the joint and the valve seat fixation member from an outside of the body in a sequence of the joint and the valve seat fixation member, and that has an inner peripheral surface in which an internal thread screwed to the external thread of the valve seat fixation member is provided. The sealing member is provided between the joint and the valve seat fixation member. An outer peripheral edge of the sealing member is located radially inward of a screwed region of the internal thread and the external thread.

In a sanitary valve (1) having a push-push actuation mechanism (2), a cap interface (5) is provided between a cover cap (6) and an actuating element (3) having a higher rotational symmetry than a fitting interface (8) between the valve (1) and a fitting (9).
