An inflation valve for a tubeless tire may include a valve body defining a cavity having a proximal opening and a distal opening. A valve stem extends through the cavity and includes a plug at a proximal end of the valve stem. The proximal opening of the cavity is defined by a beveled surface, and an outer diameter of the beveled surface is larger than an inner diameter of the valve body. The valve is transitionable between: a) a closed position, where a resilient surface of the plug engages the beveled surface to seal the cavity, and b) an open position, where the resilient surface of the plug is spaced from the beveled surface to unseal the cavity.

A valve device includes a metal valve body defining a water passageway between an inlet and an outlet of the body. A valve seat of a different material than the valve body is insert-cast molded integral with the valve body. The configuration of the valve seat and the mass of the valve body surrounding the seat being sufficiently large reduces a chilling effect during molding such that a pressure-tight and waterproof interface is formed between adjacent surfaces of the valve body and the valve seat.

A fill valve assembly for a toilet tank is described. The fill valve assembly includes a two part design. The fill valve assembly includes a fill valve that connects or engages with a shank. A connection between the fill valve and the shank is located in an interior of the tank, which is easily accessed. The fill valve may be easily replaced by disconnecting the fill valve from the shank.

In at least some implementations, a solenoid valve includes a housing, a bobbin and an armature. The bobbin is received at least partially within the housing and has a body about which a coil is provided. A fluid flow path including an inlet and an outlet and a valve seat is defined by at least one of the housing or the bobbin, and the armature is moveable relative to the valve seat to control flow through the fluid flow path.

A diaphragm valve includes a valve body including a valve cavity and first and second ports, and a valve assembly disposed to seal the valve cavity. The valve assembly includes a valve seat, a seat carrier and a diaphragm, with the valve seat being retained with said seat carrier and disposed to surround the first port and including a flow passage in fluid communication with the first port. The seat carrier includes an annular body having an outer rim and a web that extends radially inward from the outer rim to a central opening, the central opening being aligned with the first port. The web includes a plurality of flow passages separated by lands about said central opening. Each land has a surface area that is less than a cross-sectional area of said second port so as to reduce obstruction of flow when the land overlays the second port.

A solenoid valve includes a housing, a bobbin and an armature. The bobbin is received at least partially within the housing and has a body about which a coil is provided. A fluid flow path including an inlet and an outlet and a valve seat is defined by at least one of the housing or the bobbin, and the armature is moveable relative to the valve seat to control flow through the fluid flow path.

A valve and tool assembly includes a valve seat, a valve seat recess, a seat carrier and a valve seat displacement tool. A valve seat installation tool is also described, as well as a valve seat replacement kit and a method for replacing a valve seat. The valve may be a diaphragm valve, for example.

A diaphragm valve includes a valve body, a valve assembly disposed to seal the valve cavity and including a diaphragm and a valve seat retained with a seat carrier, a threaded member assembled with the valve body, and a valve actuator assembled with the valve body and operable to move a surface of the diaphragm into and out of contact with the valve seat. The valve body includes a valve cavity, a first port and a second port, with the first port and the second port being open to the valve cavity. The threaded member includes an annular bead that directly contacts the diaphragm to apply a compressive load to the diaphragm against a first side of the seat carrier. The valve actuator is separate from the threaded member, and is removable from the valve body without removing the threaded member from the valve body.

An inline dispersal valve that can be used with or without a base. One embodiment includes a rotatable member that is rotatable from a fluid stream obstructing condition to an out-of-the-way condition to prevent fluid diversion into the dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a lever handle for quickly setting the amount of fluid being diverted into the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes an indicator that can be viewed from a position above the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a cap that can be secured or removed without the aid of tools. Another embodiment includes a clip that allows one to disassemble the inline dispersal valve for servicing. Another embodiment includes a dispensing valve that can be reversed and still properly divert fluid into a dispersant chamber. Another embodiment includes an inline dispersal valve with a bleed valve positioned to allow one to bring the air volume in the dispersant chamber to the proper level.

A fuel selector for use with a dual fuel generator includes a selector plate, a first fuel valve assembly positioned adjacent the selector plate and actuatable between an ON position and an OFF position to selectively control a first fuel flow to an engine of the dual fuel generator, and a second fuel valve assembly positioned adjacent the selector plate and actuatable between an ON position and an OFF position to selectively control a second fuel flow to the engine of the dual fuel generator. A selector switch coupled to the selector plate is linearly translatable from a first position to a second position, so as to enable positioning of only one of the first fuel valve assembly and the second fuel valve assembly in the ON position at a given time, such that the first and second fuel valve assemblies cannot be in the ON position concurrently.
