The invention relates to a shut-off valve for controlling flow of a pressurised gas. The shut-off valve comprises a body defining a passage extending between a gas inlet channel and a gas outlet channel, and a sealing element arranged to, in a first position, close the passage, and in a second position, open the passage to allow gas to flow between the gas inlet channel and the gas outlet channel through the passage. The invention also relates to a method for controlling flow of a pressurised gas by means of a shut-off valve.

A combination control and check valve assembly for a wet piping system includes a control valve in the form of a ball valve and a one-way check valve mounted within the flow pathway of the ball valve. A valve actuation assembly is mounted to the valve assembly to selectively rotate the ball valve between the open and closed positions thereof. The valve actuation assembly is mounted to a first side of the valve assembly and rotationally fixed to the ball, whereby rotation of the valve actuation assembly rotates the ball between the open and closed positions. A side opening is formed in a second side of the valve assembly that is angularly spaced from the first side. The side opening is positioned to align with the fluid flow pathway of the ball valve in the closed position thereof to provide access to the check valve.

A temperature protection system includes a thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) and a stop valve assembly. The TMV is operably coupled to provide temperature controlled water to a faucet. The stop valve assembly is coupled between the TMV and a source of water. The stop valve assembly has a stop valve body, a stop valve element, and a ball valve. The stop valve body has a stop valve receiving tube, a water inlet tube and an outlet tube. The water inlet tube defines a water inlet to the stop valve body, and the outlet tube forms a water outlet to the stop valve body. The stop valve element is disposed within the stop valve receiving tube and interposed at least in part between the outlet tube and the water inlet. The ball valve disposed in the inlet tube between the stop valve element and the water inlet.

A serviceable valve carousel system may include a valve carousel housing having a first port adapter receiver, a valve service port, and a second port adapter receiver. A rotatable valve carousel may be disposed within the valve carousel housing. The rotatable valve carousel may include a valve lumen and a removable valve cap. A first port adapter may be removably attached to the first port adapter receiver and a second port adapter may removably attached to the second port adapter receiver. The first port adapter and the second port adapter may be of a type or kind needed to facilitate connectivity. The rotatable valve carousel may be rotatable between a first state that allows fluid communication between the first port adapter and the second port adapter through a check valve and a second state that allows the worn check valve to be removed and replaced via the valve service port.

A check valve assembly comprising a main housing having a main fluid passage extending along a main flow axis between a first port connectable to a first pipe and a second port connectable to second pipe; a shut off element disposed at least in part within the main housing, said shut off element extending along a shut off element axis, and a check valve. The shut off element is displaceable between a working position in which the shut off element allows a fluid flow between the first port and the second port and through the check valve, and a service position blocking the fluid flow through the shut off element. A check valve receiving element is disposed at least in part within the main housing for removably accommodating the check valve in the check valve receiving element.

A disposable dental valve device is disclosed having a valve body having an interior, a tip receiving end for receiving a tip, a socket hose receiving end for receiving a tube having a beaded end, a lumen formed between the tip receiving end and the socket hose receiving end, and a partial opening formed in the valve body, a rotatable valve sealing body adapted to be inserted into the partial opening, and the rotatable valve sealing body having a bore for alignment with the lumen formed between the tip receiving end and the socket hose receiving end.

An inlet check valve for controlling fluid from a supply into a variable cam timing phaser includes a double flapper check valve assembly with an open position and a closed position, which includes a housing having a body, at least one stopper, a flapper valve comprising at least two flexible flaps received within the housing and aligned with the stopper(s), and a valve seat received within the housing, the valve seat defining openings aligned with the at least two flexible flaps, axially opposite the two stoppers.

An integral check valve has a stem with a first interior bore extending longitudinally inward from a first end thereof and a spindle having a central shaft having a first end and an opposing second end with flange circumscribing the central shaft. The interior bore is sized to receive the stem and a portion of the central shaft extending from the first end to the flange. The integral check valve may be a component of a plumbing fixture that further includes a hollow body having a water inlet, a water outlet and an integral check valve receiving conduit. The integral check valve receiving conduit has threads sized to engage the outwardly extending threads of the stem.

A dental valve device has a valve body having a tip receiving end having a flexible tubing extending outwardly from the tip receiving end with the flexible tubing having a flexible tubing opening, a hose receiving end, a lumen formed between the flexible tubing opening and the hose receiving end, and a partial opening formed in the valve body, and a rotatable valve sealing body adapted to be inserted into the partial opening, the rotatable valve sealing body having a bore for alignment with the lumen formed between the flexible tubing opening and the hose receiving end, the bore having a tip receiving opening and a hose receiving opening.

A combination control and check valve assembly for a wet piping system includes a control valve in the form of a ball valve and a one-way check valve mounted within the flow pathway of the ball valve. A valve actuation assembly is mounted to the valve assembly to selectively rotate the ball valve between the open and closed positions thereof. The valve actuation assembly is mounted to a first side of the valve assembly and rotationally fixed to the ball, whereby rotation of the valve actuation assembly rotates the ball between the open and closed positions. A side opening is formed in a second side of the valve assembly that is angularly spaced from the first side. The side opening is positioned to align with the fluid flow pathway of the ball valve in the closed position thereof to provide access to the check valve.
