Actuators for fluid catalytic cracking unit slide valves and similar valves are disclosed. The actuator frame is assembled by bolting, allowing for standardized configurations that permit stocking of parts and avoids prior art problems of dealing with actuators designed for each individual project, allowing for rapid assembly of new actuators on demand that suit each project by varying the incorporated components, as well as permitting for more-rapid servicing when necessary. Additionally, the instrumentation for the actuator is contained within the actuator frame, better protecting the instrumentation from damage such as from being struck. The actuator includes a new manual engagement system, providing for better engagement of manual controls to actuate the actuator and the accompanying valve when necessary.

A valve for a flush-mounted body of a sanitary fitting, at least having a valve housing with a longitudinal axis, a rotatable flow control element for adjusting a flow volume of a liquid flowing through the valve, and a valve knob for opening and closing the valve. The valve knob can be adjusted via the flow control element, rotationally and parallel to the longitudinal axis, by a control knob for the valve, and the control knob is fastened to the valve knob by a rotary coupling so that the control knob can be non-rotatably fastened relative to the valve housing.

In an actuated valve assembly, the valve includes a valve body defining a fluid passageway, an annular valve seat disposed on the valve body surrounding the fluid passageway, and a valve closing member movable between a closed position sealing against the valve seat and a fully open position spaced apart from the valve seat to permit flow. The actuator includes an actuator housing and an actuating mechanism movable within the actuator housing, by operation of the actuator, between a closing position in which the actuating mechanism holds the valve closing member in the closed position, and an opening position in which the actuating mechanism permits movement of the valve closing member toward the fully open position, the opening position being defined by engagement of the actuating mechanism with a stop portion of the actuator. The actuator is threadably adjustable on the valve to adjust a position of the actuator stop portion with respect to the valve seat, such that the opening position of the actuating mechanism may be selected to limit the valve closing member to a partial flow position between the fully open position and the closed position.

A valve includes a valve body defining a top end, a bottom end distal from the top end, and a shaft bore defined in the top end and the bottom end; a valve shaft positioned at least partially within the shaft bore of the valve body and defining an end bore; and a shaft blowout prevention fastener secured within the end bore of the valve shaft.

A system for delivering fuel to an equipment fuel tank. The system includes a remote fuel storage tank and a valve assembly coupleable to the equipment fuel tank. The system includes a fuel supply line extending between the remote fuel storage tank and the valve assembly and a pneumatic valve disposed in the fuel supply line. The pneumatic valve can prevent flow of fuel into the fuel supply line or can enable flow of fuel into the fuel supply line. The valve assembly includes pressure tubes to detect changes in fuel level inside the equipment fuel tank. A switch actuates the pneumatic valve to prevent the flow of fluid in response to an overfilled position; and actuates the pneumatic valve to enable the flow of fluid in response to an underfilled position.

A valve opening and closing system includes: a site/center switching manual valve; a manual valve for opening and closing operation; an opening/closing switching electric driving valve that opens and closes a manual valve and that nullifies the manual valve for opening and closing operation; a center wireless transmitter that accepts and transmits an operation instruction including an opening and closing operation instruction and a forced closing operation instruction; and a site wireless transmitter, and a contact signal converter, the site side valve control device transmits both of the opening and closing operation instruction and the forced closing operation instruction to the contact signal converter when the site/center switching manual valve is switched to the center control side, and interrupts the opening and closing operation instruction and transmits the forced closing operation instruction to the contact signal converter when the site/center switching manual valve is switched to on site.
