The presently-disclosed subject matter includes valve covers. The valve covers can protect valves from exposure as well as from tampering. In some embodiments the valve cover comprises a cap that includes a top end and a side wall that is substantially cylindrical. Embodiments of valve covers also include a plug on an interior side of the top end of the cap that projects toward the opening of the cap. When the valve cover is installed, the plug can extend beyond an opening of the valve.

Improved flow control assemblies for fluid systems (e.g., industrial and/or commercial systems) are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides for advantageous ball valve assemblies for fluid systems. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides for improved ball valve assemblies and related features, systems and methods of use. Exemplary ball valve assemblies of the present disclosure offer advantages over conventional assemblies including, without limitation, advantages in the sealing mechanisms of the ball valve assemblies, and advantages with the user interfaces of the ball valve assemblies (e.g., advantages with the lockout mechanisms). Improved, convenient and effective systems and methods for utilizing improved ball valve assemblies in fluid systems are provided.

The safety radiator cap cover with valve releaser provides protection from hot fluids for a person removing a cap with a pressure relief valve lever from an automotive radiator or other pressurized vessel. The cover includes a tapered handle across its top having side recesses to provide a firmer grip. The safety radiator cap cover includes an upper flange that directs the hot fluids predominately outward, and a lower flange that directs the hot fluid predominately downward. Inside the main body of the safety radiator cap cover is a cavity for receipt of the radiator cap. The valve releaser includes a wide pocket extending forward from the front end of the cavity for the receipt of the valve lever of the radiator cap. The rear end of the cavity includes a U-shaped recess for receipt of the radiator cap's rear tab to align the releaser with the lever.

Provided is an enclosure with an integrated hydrant. The enclosure includes a fluid flow conduit that transfers fluid from a fluid supply tube to a fluid outlet, which may be associated with the backflow preventer. The enclosure has a conduit that carries water from the fluid supply tube to the backflow preventer. Thus, a lower profile, lighter, and more aesthetically pleasing enclosure is provided.

Brackets including a plate having a first, a second, and a third opening, and a channel extending from the plate. The channel has a first and a second end, the first end defining a fourth opening for receiving a handle into the channel. The first opening is positioned over the channel such that when a handle is fully inserted into the channel the opening in the handle would be accessible through the first opening of the plate. The second opening is positioned over the channel such that when the handle is inserted into the channel and a connecting pin is inserted into the second opening and the handle, the handle becomes connected to the bracket. The third opening is positioned to align with the at least one hole in a mounting plate of an oil container valve when the handle is coupled to the stud of the oil container valve.

The present invention relates to adjustable flow control valves, for example to an Adjustable Pressure Limiting (APL) valve. The adjustable valve (2) described comprises a valve body (4) comprising a valve seat (6), a valve member (10) movable relative to the valve seat (6), a first valve cap (20), a second valve cap (50) and a biasing element (30) to bias the valve member (10) away from the first valve cap (20). The first valve cap (20) is movable to increase the biasing force applied by the biasing element (30). The second valve cap (50) is engageable with the first valve cap (20) to prevent such movement of the first valve cap (20) beyond a selected position, but to allow movement of the first valve cap (20) in an opposite direction, way from said position.
