A fill limit vent valve for a fuel system includes a housing assembly, an outlet port and a flow dam. The housing assembly has a main housing including a cylindrical body and an upper housing portion. The upper housing portion has a lower wall that defines an orifice and an outer cylindrical wall that defines an upper housing chamber. The outlet port is formed on the main housing and fluidly communicates fuel vapor out of the fill limit valve. The orifice is offset from a centerpoint of the lower wall in a direction away from the outlet port. The flow dam extends from the lower wall into the upper housing chamber and connects on opposite ends to the outer cylindrical wall. The flow dam and upper housing chamber cooperating to form a liquid trap that mitigates the possibility of liquid fuel from reaching the outlet port from the orifice.

The invention is directed to a gas cylinder valve (2) comprising a body (4) with an inlet (18), an outlet (40) and a passage (20) fluidly interconnecting said inlet and outlet; a shut-off device (22) with a seat (26) formed in the passage (20) and a shutter (24) movable along a longitudinal axis (7) for cooperating with said seat; a spindle (12) rotatably mounted on the body (4) along the longitudinal axis (7) and cooperating with the shutter (24) such as to move said shutter upon rotation of said spindle; a residual pressure device (28) fluidly downstream of the shut-off device (22), with a seat (32) formed in the passage (20) and a piston (30) movable along a transversal axis (38. At least one of the shutter (24) and the piston (30) shows a recess or opening (24.4) accommodating the other of said shutter and piston.

Provided are: a shut-off valve control device which is capable of reducing the difference between a set opening amount and the actual opening amount, when executing a partial valve stroke test; a shut-off valve control system; a method for calculating a shut-off valve control coefficient; and a method for controlling a shut-off valve. This shut-off valve control device is provided with a microcomputer for controlling the opening and closing of a solenoid valve which supplies air from an air supply source, to a cylinder of an air cylinder for controlling a valve shaft of a shut-off valve, and discharges said air. The microcomputer acquires a set opening amount of the shut-off valve. Furthermore, the microcomputer controls the solenoid valve to a value obtained by dividing the acquired set opening amount by a predetermined coefficient C.

A fluid supply system for a machine such as an internal combustion engine includes a shutoff valve having an electrical actuator that includes a solenoid subassembly, and a stabilizer for the electrical valve actuator. The stabilizer includes a fitting structured to couple the shutoff valve to adjacent hardware in the fluid supply system, and a strongarm extending between the fitting and the solenoid assembly and clamped to the solenoid subassembly. A vibration-damping reinforced grommet may be clamped between the solenoid subassembly and the clamp.

A valve assembly comprising a valve guide and one or more weights coupled to and/or integral with the valve guide. The valve assembly may further comprising a valve body and a valve stem connecting the valve body to the valve guide. The valve assembly may be disposed in a fluid end of a positive displacement pump that is operated to flow a wellbore servicing fluid into a wellbore.

The upper housing portion has a lower wall that defines an orifice and an outer cylindrical wall that defines an upper housing chamber. The outlet port is formed on the main housing and fluidly communicates fuel vapor out of the fill limit valve. The orifice is offset from a centerpoint of the lower wall in a direction away from the outlet port. The flow dam extends from the lower wall into the upper housing chamber and connects on opposite ends to the outer cylindrical wall. The flow dam and upper housing chamber cooperating to form a liquid trap that mitigates the possibility of liquid fuel from reaching the outlet port from the orifice.

Some embodiments include a fluid valve assembly with an outlet base dimensioned to be positioned through a drain in a fluid tank, and a float assembly including a moveable float. The moveable float can form a fluid-tight seal at a first end when the moveable float is coupled to the outlet base, and a flow opening when the moveable float is at least partially decoupled from the outlet base. Some embodiments include a housing positioned with the moveable float, where the housing encloses a suction device coupled to a moveable piston. Some embodiments include an actuable diaphragm positioned in the outlet base, and a compressed air tube or passageway coupled to one side the actuable diaphragm. In some embodiments, the actuable diaphragm is configured and arranged to be actuated by compressed air to move the moveable piston.

A water control device that can be introduced into the main water supply line for a structure configured for automatic direct water allocation has a manifold with an inlet port and an outlet port in fluid communication with one another and a quarter turn valve disposed between the inlet and outlet ports and in fluid communication therewith. The quarter turn valve has a truncated conical shaped valve body that fits within a well in the manifold, the valve body having spaced apart solid side walls which define openings within opposite side walls, such that rotation of the valve body by a quarter turn will align either an opening or a solid side wall with the inlet and outlets ports for the well, thus alternately permitting or disrupting the flow of water through the valve. The valve body further includes a plurality of spaced apart cam projections on a bottom surface thereof, the cam projections cooperating with a plurality of spaced apart cam projections disposed on a bottom surface of the well such that the valve body undergoes vertical displacement as it rotates.
