Provided is a switching valve for use in an analyzer module for switching flow passages of fluids, in which the manufacturing cost is reduced and the life is increased. The valve element is provided with a lower contact portion that comes into close contact with a lower valve seat disposed at a valve body when a valve is closed, and with an upper contact portion that comes into close contact with an upper valve seat disposed at a counter plate when the valve is open. The counter plate has a first recess that is open downward and a second recess that is open toward the first recess and has a smaller horizontal cross-sectional area than that of the first recess, and the upper valve seat is press-fitted into the second recess.

The shut-off element of a hydrant has a main valve body and a sealing surface that can be brought into mutual sealing contact, of which the sealing surface at least in sections is provided with a recess on the inner circumference.

The flow path opening/closing portion replacement device comprises a first enclosing portion having a first opening and a shutter, and enclosing, in a state where the shutter has closed the first opening, an end portion of a converging pipe through which a fluid passes and a valve which is attached to the end portion; a second enclosing portion having a detachable member enabling the valve to be detached and a second opening which can be contiguous with the first opening and enabling removal/insertion of the detachable member, and enclosing the valve together with the first enclosing portion in a contiguous opening state in which the first opening and the second opening are contiguous, wherein, in a state where the second enclosing portion has enclosed the valve together with the first enclosing portion in the contiguous opening state, the valve can be replaced by the detachable member.

The flow path opening/closing portion replacement device comprises a first enclosing portion having a first opening and a shutter, and enclosing, in a state where the shutter has closed the first opening, an end portion of a converging pipe through which a fluid passes and a valve which is attached to the end portion; a second enclosing portion having a detachable member enabling the valve to be detached and a second opening which can be contiguous with the first opening and enabling removal/insertion of the detachable member, and enclosing the valve together with the first enclosing portion in a contiguous opening state in which the first opening and the second opening are contiguous, wherein, in a state where the second enclosing portion has enclosed the valve together with the first enclosing portion in the contiguous opening state, the valve can be replaced by the detachable member.

An assembly includes a tubular inlet riser to be mounted within a toilet tank. The tubular inlet riser further includes an inner water bore, a bottom-most portion having an outer threaded portion, and a bottom seat. The assembly further includes a half cartridge adapter, which includes a cylindrical upper tube stop cavity, a cylindrical medial O-ring cavity, and a cylindrical lower cartridge cavity.

To provide a flow rate regulating valve capable of detecting a state where a flow path is fully closed even when there is no lead wire or the like for detecting the state where the flow path is fully closed. A flow rate regulating valve is a fluid regulating valve including a valve body for opening and closing fluid flow paths provided in a body and includes an actuator unit for moving the valve body, and the actuator unit includes a drive motor, a slider moved by a rotation of the motor, a cylindrical body mounted on the slider, and a shaft interlocked with the cylindrical body and provided with the valve body fixed to a distal end thereof. The motor is a stepping servomotor, and has a pressing control function for moving the valve body in the closing direction at a continuous rated torque.
