The static plate member is disposed adjacent to the moving plate member in the second cavity. The valve seat member is detachably coupled to the valve housing member. The sealing member is removably disposed in a cutout portion of the valve seat member. The valve seat member includes design variations.

A faucet configured to discharge ozone water comprises a faucet body, a water mixing valve mechanism, a water processor, a control switch, a processor, a control valve, and a detector configured to detect whether water is flowing through the detector. The faucet body comprises a faucet outlet, and the water mixing valve mechanism comprises a cold water inlet connected to a cold water resource, a hot water inlet connected to a hot water resource, and a mixed water outlet. The water processor comprises a water processing passage and an ozone generator connected to the water processing passage. The control valve is disposed between the cold water resource and an inlet of the water processing passage, and an outlet of the water processing passage is connected to the faucet outlet. The detector is disposed between the mixed water outlet of the water mixing valve mechanism and the inlet of the water processing passage, and the processor is electrically connected to the control switch, the ozone generator, the detector, and the control valve to close the control valve and the ozone generator when the detector detects the water flowing through the detector.

A sanitary faucet having a faucet body; a mixing valve for mixing cold water and warm water to form a mixed water; and a thermostatic mixing valve for mixing cold and hot water to generate the warm water, containing an expansion material element and a gate valve operated by the expansion material element for adjusting a mixing ratio between the cold water and the hot water, wherein the expansion material element and the gate valve are arranged non-coaxially to each other, wherein the expansion material element can be used to operate the gate valve via a connection element, and wherein the connection element can be attached to the gate valve or the expansion material element and can subsequently be rotated into a closed position, in which the gate valve and the expansion material element are interconnected by the connection element. A method of installing a sanitary faucet is proposed.

A valve upper part for insertion into a sanitary fitting includes a head piece in which a spindle is pivotably mounted, the first end of the spindle projecting from the head piece and the second end thereof engaging via a pin with a control element which is in contact with a stationary passage disc, wherein the passage disc has at least two passage openings and wherein the control element is designed as an adjusting block which is dimensioned such that it can be used to seal at least one passage opening.

A multi-flow valve has an in-let/outlet plate (208) with at least two inlet openings (210, 212) and two outlet openings (214, 216). A fluid flow selector (206) has a fluid passage (228) therein. The fluid flow selector is rotatable with respect to the inlet/outlet plate among a closed position a first open position and a second open position. When in the first open position the fluid flow passage fluidly couples the first inlet to the first outlet and when in the second open position the fluid passage fluidly couples the second inlet to the second outlet. In an aspect, when the fluid flow selector is in the closed position the fluid flow passage fluidly couples the first outlet to the second outlet. In an aspect, the fluid flow passage is an offset arcuate channel.

A control valve of a manual/automatic and cold/hot water faucet includes a sliding member, a linking member, and an operating member. The sliding member has a notch. The linking member is recessed with a connecting groove. The operating member has a valve stem and a linking portion. The linking portion drives the linking portion and the sliding portion through the connecting groove. The valve stem, the connecting groove and the central axis are arranged concentrically, so that the overlapping area of the notch and the cold water hole is equal to the overlapping area of the notch and the hot water hole to keep the same ratio of cold water to hot water in an automatic mode to dispense water, thereby increasing the safety in use.

A clip filter for a hydraulic valve, the clip filter comprising a carrier frame; and filter elements received in the carrier frame, wherein the carrier frame is configured annular and includes a clip filter lock, wherein a first end of the carrier frame and a second end of the carrier frame are engageable with each other for closing the clip filter, wherein the first end of the carrier frame includes a lug shaped clip element and the second end of the carrier frame includes a recess that is complementary to the lug shaped clip element, and wherein a clip filter lock is configured for a maximized opening force.
