A damping valve having a damping valve body with at least one flow channel for damping medium. A valve rod is arranged in the flow channel. The valve rod cooperates with a valve disk and a valve seat surface. The valve rod carries a further valve disk that cooperates with a second valve seat surface. The first valve disk together with the first valve seat surface forms a first partial valve having a first permanently open pilot orifice cross section, and the second valve disk together with the second valve seat surface forms a second partial valve having a second pilot orifice cross section, and a shuttle valve is formed which opens one partial valve and closes the other partial valve depending on the flow direction.

Embodiments of a valve assembly and a plumbing system incorporating the same are provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve assembly for use with an enclosed environment includes a housing having an interior volume, an inlet disposed at a first end of the housing and fluidly coupled to an environment surrounding the housing, and an outlet disposed at a second end of the housing opposite the first end and fluidly coupled to the enclosed environment; a first valve having a first valve seat and a first sealing member at least partially extending through a first opening in the first valve seat in a closed position; and a second valve disposed beneath the first valve and having a second valve seat and a second sealing member at least partially extending through a second opening in the second valve seat in a closed position.

Embodiments of air admittance valve assembly and plumbing system incorporating the same are provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve assembly comprising a housing, a first valve comprising a first valve sealing member and a first valve seat, and a second valve comprising a second valve sealing member and a second valve seat, and a pipe, an inlet, an outlet, a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, the first and second valve sealing member is closed by gravity and open based upon the pressure differential between the first zone, second zone and third zone.

A valve structure includes: a valve unit including a valve body, a shaft portion extending from the valve body, and a separating portion provided on the shaft portion and spaced apart from the valve body; a mounting plate located between the valve body and the separating portion and including an insertion hole into which the shaft portion is inserted; a holding portion including a first holding surface provided on the mounting plate, and a second holding surface provided on the valve unit and spaced apart from the first holding surface; a protrusion provided on one of the valve unit and the mounting plate, an end of the protrusion protruding beyond the first and second holding surfaces; and an elastic body including a contact portion located between the first and second holding surfaces, and a pressed portion located inside or outside the contact portion and contacting the protrusion.

A folding hanger includes a hook extending from an upper end of a hinge pin for suspending the pin. First and second hanger arms each have proximal and distal ends and define a support surface therebetween. Each proximal end has a stop. A knuckle having a hole extends from each proximal end. The pin passes through the holes along an axis, coupling the arms and hook whereby the arms are movable between extended and folded configurations. The stops abut when the arms are extended, and are separated when folded. The hanger has a center of gravity when the arms are extended and suspended by the hook such that the axis is angled relative to vertical in a first direction and the stops bias abutting. The arms each have a center of gravity such that angular movement of the axis past an unstable equilibrium causes the arms to move toward folded.

The present disclosure relates to a noise reduction member and a solenoid valve for a brake system with the same, and a noise reduction member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is interposed between a sleeve including a cylindrical shape and an armature provided in the sleeve so as to be movable upward or downward, reduces noise that occurs in the event of a collision between the sleeve and the armature, and includes a support portion accommodated and supported in the armature, and a damper portion having a circular plate shape and protruding and extending from the support portion toward the sleeve.

Embodiments of air admittance valve assembly and piping system incorporating the same are provided herein. In some embodiments, a valve assembly comprising a housing, a first valve comprising a first valve sealing member and a first valve seat, and a second valve comprising a second valve sealing member and a second valve seat, and a pipe, an inlet, an outlet, a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, the first and second valve sealing member is closed by gravity and open based upon the pressure differential between the first zone, second zone and third zone.

A valve assembly includes a valve body, a bonnet coupled to the valve body, a valve stem, and an actuator coupled to the bonnet. The valve assembly further includes a damper system arranged within a body of the actuator. The damper system includes an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve, the outer sleeve being axially movable along the inner sleeve responsive to movement of the valve stem, and one or more ports extending through the inner sleeve, wherein movement of the outer sleeve drives a volume of air out of an interior formed between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve through the one or more ports.

A metal seal for a flap valve, is disclosed which has a valve housing with a flow channel, in the flow cross-section of which a valve disk is disposed such that it can be swiveled around a swivel axis between an open position and a shutoff position. The seal has sealing elements, which can be pressed against one another, and which are disposed on the outer circumference of the valve disk and on the inner circumference of the valve housing, and they have at least one annular metal sealing lip, which in the shutoff position bears with elastic preload on an oppositely situated, likewise annular metal mating sealing face. To prevent damage to outer components, the metal sealing lip is produced in an additive method from metal materials having shape, cross-sectional geometry and/or alloy adapted to the different circumferential regions of the metal sealing lip.

A bed system having a mattress, a pump, and a valve manifold. The mattress has at least one inflatable chamber. The valve manifold has a manifold housing, an inlet port, an outlet port, and an exhaust port. The manifold housing defines a manifold interior. The inlet port passes through the manifold housing. The inlet port conducts fluid from the pump to the manifold interior. The outlet port passes through the manifold housing. The outlet port conducts fluid from the manifold interior to and from the at least one inflatable chamber. The exhaust port passes through the manifold housing. The exhaust port defines a passage having a passage inlet and a passage outlet. The passage outlet is smaller than the passage inlet.
