A valve has a housing defining an inlet and an outlet and a cavity therebetween which receives a valve seat. The valve seat defines a slot which receives a gate. The valve seat is sealingly engaged with the housing, the gate sealingly engages the valve seat and is movable within the slot between an open and a closed position using an actuator. An opening in the housing provides access to the cavity. The valve seat may be removed from the housing through the opening by attaching the valve seat to the gate, thereby attaching the valve seat to the actuator, and withdrawing the gate from the housing using the actuator.

A manifold for water dispensing units includes a manifold body having: one or more inlet paths, an outlet path, a collecting chamber delimited by a lateral wall and communicating with the inlet paths and with the outlet path. The collecting chamber is configured to receive a cartridge body for the regulation of flow. A safety group is associated to the manifold body and includes: a flange removably attached to the manifold body, a safety shutter provided with through inlet gaps and with shut-off surfaces and a control body for the movement of the safety shutter: from a first position in which the through inlet gaps communicate with the inlet paths and contrast means prevent the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, to a second position in which the shut-off surfaces sealingly close the inlet paths. A sliding surface allows the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, and vice versa.

A valve device has an outer valve casing externally fitted to an existing fluid pipe, an inner valve casing housed in the outer valve casing and an inner packing for sealing a gap between them. The inner packing includes an annular portion mounted along a periphery of an upper side surface of the inner valve casing and a plurality of U-shaped portions extending downward from the annular portion and to be mounted over an entire length from a side surface to a bottom surface of the inner valve casing. An enclosed space sandwiched between an inner surface of the outer valve casing and an outer surface of the inner valve casing is formed between the U-shaped portions that are adjacent to each other. The inner packing is provided with a connecting portion for connecting the plurality of U-shaped portions to one another.

A solenoid valve apparatus for a brake system for a vehicle, including: a main valve unit; a pilot-control valve unit that is fluidically connected to the main valve unit; and a housing to accommodate at least the main valve unit and the pilot-control valve unit; in which the pilot-control valve unit includes a double solenoid unit and at least one valve device, in which the double solenoid unit is formed such that it can be populated with at least one valve device, and in which the double solenoid unit has at least two accommodating portions for accommodating valve devices and at least two solenoid devices for actuating valve devices. Also described are a related braking system and a related method for mounting a solenoid valve assembly for a braking system for a vehicle.

A manifold for water dispensing units, including a manifold body having: one or more inlet paths, an outlet path, a collecting chamber delimited by a lateral wall and communicating with the inlet paths and with the outlet path. The collecting chamber is configured to receive the insertion of a cartridge body for the regulation of flow. A safety group is associated to the manifold body (1a) and includes: a flange removably attached to the manifold body, a safety shutter provided with through inlet gaps and with shut-off surfaces and a control body for the movement of the safety shutter: from a first position in which the through inlet gaps communicate with the inlet paths and contrast means prevent the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, to a second position in which the shut-off surfaces sealingly close the inlet paths and sliding means allow the separation of the control body and the cartridge body from the manifold body, and vice versa.

A faucet handle assembly for a Roman tub has a low profile and can be installed from above or below the tub deck. A valve body extends along a longitudinal axis and defines a cartridge cavity. A lower end defines water inlet and outlet passages and a threaded external surface. An upper end defines a threaded internal surface. A mixing cartridge with a rotatable stem and a cartridge spacer are carried in the cavity with the spacer axially between the cartridge and the inlet and outlet passages of the valve body. A fastener has a threaded external surface threaded to the threaded internal surface of the valve body upper end. An upper mounting ring has a hub disposed about the upper end of the valve body and a flange extending radially outwardly from the hub.

A unitary valve trim assembly that can be easily installed in and removed from a valve body of a process control valve. The valve trim assembly includes a valve cage and a valve seat. The valve cage has a first projection that extends in a first direction that is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the valve cage. The valve seat has a second projection that extends in a second direction, opposite the first direction, that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The second projection is arranged to engage the first projection to removably couple the valve seat to the valve cage.

A valve has a housing defining an inlet and an outlet and a cavity therebetween which receives a valve seat. The valve seat defines a slot which receives a body rotatably mounted with in the valve seat. The valve seat is sealingly engaged with the housing, the body rotatably mounted with in the valve seat sealingly engages the valve seat and is rotatably movable between an open and a closed position using an actuator. An opening in the housing provides access to the cavity. The valve seat may be removed from the housing through the opening by attaching the valve seat to the body rotatably mounted with in the valve seat, thereby attaching the valve seat to the actuator, and withdrawing the body rotatably mounted with in the valve seat from the housing using the actuator.

A valve, and tubular cage component for a valve, in which the tubular cage is formed such that at least a ported portion between the ends of the cage includes a tubular outer cage member formed from a metal material, and a tubular inner cage member formed from a wear resistant material. The inner cage member and the outer cage member are concentrically aligned and have a length to span at least the ported portion. Some or all of the flow ports in the ported portion include a port insert which includes a port sleeve formed from a wear resistant material such that the port sleeve extends at least over the metal material of the outer cage member at the flow port.
