A system and method for maintaining the integrity of a dry pipe sprinkler system. The system can includes an auxiliary drain including a main collection pipe, a heater having a bracket configured to attach the heater to the main collection pipe of the auxiliary drain, the bracket including a deflector configured to direct heat from the heater onto the main collection pipe, and a self-draining apparatus configured to receive excess water from the auxiliary drain.

The present disclosure provides gas valve assemblies that include a replaceable excess flow valve within a movable flow control body that is removably secured within a valve seat housing. The gas valve assemblies permit the replacement of an excess flow valve without interrupting the supply of gas to a structure and without replacing gas piping.

A hydraulic line balance manifold includes a housing having first and second open ports for fluidly coupling an upper open line to a downhole tool, first and second close ports for fluidly coupling an upper close line to the downhole tool, and bypass channel for fluidly coupling the second open port with the second close port according to pressure within the upper open line and the upper close line. A sensor piston having first and second positions relative to the housing is slidably disposed within the housing, the second open port fluidly uncoupled from the second close port through the bypass channel when the sensor piston is in the first position, second open port fluidly coupled to the second close port through the bypass channel when the piston is in the second position for reducing fluid resistance to mechanical operation of the slave valve in a mechanical override intervention operation.

A natural gas automatic shutoff system can analyze the flow rate of natural gas through a pipe. When an anomaly is detected, the device can prevent further flow of natural gas through the pipe and can automatically notify the homeowner or authorized monitor, such as through a cell phone application or other device. Additionally, the homeowner or authorized monitor can manually control and/or monitor the flow of gas through the pipe in real-time, such as through a cell phone application or other device. At least one exemplary embodiment uses a motorized ball valve to control the flow of gas, a flow meter to measure the rate of natural gas flow through the pipe, and a microcomputer to analyze the flow and send notifications to the homeowner or authorized monitor.

A constant pressure valve for an inflatable product is provided. The constant pressure valve comprises: a housing defining an airflow channel within. A first sealing seat is disposed in the airflow channel and a first through hole is formed in the first sealing seat. An inflation valve core comprises: a first actuating assembly and a first valve head. The first actuating assembly is configured to drive the first valve head to disengage from the first through hole, or to engage with the first through hole in a sealing manner. The constant pressure valve is switchable between an inflation state, in which the first valve head is disengaged from the first through hole, and the airflow channel is unblocked; and a cut-off state in which the first valve head is engaged with the first through hole in a sealing manner, and the airflow channel is blocked by the first valve head.

A vent valve flow fuse includes a valve cap with a valve cap cavity defined by one or more valve cap interior surfaces. The vent valve flow fuse includes a valve body with a valve body cavity defined by one or more valve body interior surfaces. The vent valve flow fuse includes a poppet configured to at least partially fit within the valve cap cavity and the valve body cavity. The vent valve flow fuse includes a spring configured to fit within the valve body cavity and to generate a resistive force against the poppet. The poppet is in a first position when fluid having a first amount of fluid pressure enters the valve cap cavity from a vent valve and engages the poppet. The poppet is in a second position when fluid having a second amount of fluid pressure enters the valve cap cavity and engages the poppet.

A venturi vacuum drawback assembly includes a fluid supply passage that supplies the fluid to the device, a fluid return passage that returns the fluid to the device, a shutoff valve positioned on the fluid supply passage, a bypass passage, a bypass valve positioned on the bypass passage, and a venturi valve positioned on the bypass passage downstream of the bypass valve. The bypass passage includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the fluid supply passage upstream of the shutoff valve, and the outlet connected to the fluid return passage. The venturi valve includes a venturi inlet, a venturi outlet, and a primary orifice positioned between the venturi inlet and the venturi outlet. The primary orifice is connected to a drawback opening on the fluid supply passage by a conduit. The drawback opening of the fluid supply passage is positioned downstream of the shutoff valve.
