Control valves including valve trim having relative movement between the bonnet and the cage
Control valves including valve trim having relative movement between the bonnet and the cage. A control valve includes a valve body including an inlet, an outlet, and a flow passage connecting the inlet and the outlet. The control valve includes a cage disposed in the flow passage. The control valve includes a control element disposed in the flow passage and shiftable between a first position and a second position. The control valve includes a bonnet securable to the valve body and disposed adjacent the cage. The bonnet is adapted to receive a portion of the cage. The control valve includes a coupling formed between the bonnet and the cage that allows movement between the bonnet and the cage.

Valve control assembly
A valve control is configured for use with control valves and other flow controls. The valve control leverages a simplified structure to avoid problems with manufacture and reduce costs. This structure includes a support unit that compresses parts of a valve housing together. Inside of the valve housing, the structure incorporates diaphragms that cause a pair of balanced valves to move in response to changes in pressure of fluid in a conduit. For industrial application, the valve control finds use to maintain pressure of natural gas in pipelines downstream from a control valve.

Valve Cap Assembly
A valve cap assembly for being attached to an air valve and removably covering an end of the air valve includes a hoop, a cap, and an arched tether connecting the hoop and the cap. The hoop attaches the valve cap assembly to the air valve. The cap removably covers the end of the air valve to protect the end of the air valve. Both the hoop and the cap form a dependable interference fit between the hoop or cap and the valve stem to retain the hoop on the valve stem and to retain the cap covering the end of the air valve on the air valve. The arched tether enables the cap to be sufficiently spaced away from the hoop to place the cap over the hoop while remaining between the cap and the hoop on one side of the air valve when the valve cap assembly is attached to the air valve with the cap covering the end of the air valve.

Inflation electric valve with manual override
An inflation valve is provided and includes a valve defining main and command cavities and including first and second valve portions and a valve seat defining an outlet, a poppet disposed in the main cavity and including first and second rods to engage with the first valve portion and to extend through the valve seat and the second valve portion, respectively, and a piston disposed in the command cavity and a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve normally prevents main cavity-command cavity fluid flow to engage the poppet with the valve seat by fluid pressure acting on the poppet in the main cavity and permits the main cavity-command cavity fluid flow when energized to disengage the poppet from the valve seat by balanced fluid pressure acting on the poppet in the main cavity and on the piston in the command cavity to permit main cavity-outlet fluid flow.
Control valve connector
A control valve connector has a valve body, a connecting member, at least two sealing rings and a positioning nut. The valve body has a first connecting opening and at least two second connecting openings, an outer edge of the second connecting opening provided with a threaded section. The first connecting opening is configured for coupling with the positioning nut, and the connecting member is a tubal body having a through aperture and a spherical end.
