Disclosed is a friction ring including a body and a contact member. The body is configured to couple the friction ring to at least one of a faucet assembly or a faucet valve assembly. The contact member is disposed on the body. The contact member is configured to slidably engage with a valve stem of the faucet valve assembly. The contact member is further configured to press against the valve stem to increase a frictional force between the contact member and the valve stem over a full range of movement of the valve stem.

A side sprayer includes an inactive configuration, a normal active configuration, and a locked active configuration. The side sprayer includes three buttons to allow the user to transition between configurations of the side sprayer.

A water discharge unit of a water purifier includes a body having a neck that is coupleable to a sink and/or workbench, a head longitudinally extending from the neck and having a water discharge opening at a lower side of a distal end of the head, at least one pipe extending through the neck and the head through which water provided by a water purifier body is flowable to be discharged through the water discharge opening, a water discharge valve inside the body to regulate water flowing through the at least one pipe, a water discharge mechanism coupled to an upper side of a proximal end of the head to control the water discharge valve, and a touch panel coupled to the upper side of the head and spaced apart from the water discharge mechanism, and configured to receive a touch input for controlling the water purifier body.

The present disclosure provides a structure for aligning handle and mounting base of faucet and a widespread faucet including same. The structure for aligning handle and mounting base of a faucet includes: a water access main body, a cartridge, a mounting base, a handle, a first connecting element, and a second connecting element. A water inlet end of the cartridge is mounted in the water access main body. The mounting base is arranged around the water access main body and is provided with a first mounting hole. The handle is mounted on the cartridge and is provided with a second mounting hole. The first connecting element is inserted in the second mounting hole to fix the handle with a top end of the cartridge. The second connecting element is inserted in the first mounting hole to fix the mounting base with the water access main body.

This disclosure relates to a sanitary fitting for dispensing prepared liquids, for example, for beverages. A disclosed system includes a first control element for setting a quantity of the prepared liquid to be dispensed and an actuating element for providing the quantity of prepared liquid set by means of the first control element, wherein at least one second control element is configured to select a type of preparation, for example, from at least two different types of preparation, of non-prepared liquid, wherein the first and the at least one second control element are actuatable independently of one another.

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 pot filler including a metered dispense input device for dispensing of predetermined volumes of water. The pot filler illustratively includes an electrically operable valve operably coupled to a metered dispense input unit, and a control module configured to control operation of the electrically operable valve.

A shower system includes an inlet configured to receive water from a supply conduit and a plurality of spout outlets configured to discharge water from the shower system. A diverter is configured to receive water from the inlet and deliver water to the plurality of spout outlets, and the diverter is actuatable to change a water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets. A valve is configured to receive water from the inlet, and the valve is actuatable to a first position and a second position. A diverter actuator is configured to receive water from the valve in the second position. The diverter actuator is actuatable from an unactuated position to an actuated position upon receiving water from the valve, and the diverter actuator thereby actuates the diverter to change the water discharge mode of the plurality of spout outlets.

This disclosure relates to a sanitary fitting for dispensing prepared liquids, for example, for beverages. A disclosed system includes a first control element for setting a quantity of the prepared liquid to be dispensed and an actuating element for providing the quantity of prepared liquid set by means of the first control element, wherein at least one second control element is configured to select a type of preparation, for example, from at least two different types of preparation, of non-prepared liquid, wherein the first and the at least one second control element are actuatable independently of one another.

A tap is provided, comprising: a water inlet for connecting to a supply of water; a water outlet for dispensing a stream of water; a fluid passageway connecting the water inlet and outlet; and a valve provided in the fluid passageway. The valve comprises a valve element and a valve seat. The valve element is moveable between an open position in which a fluid can flow through the passageway to a closed position where the valve element seals with the valve seat to inhibit fluid flowing through the passageway. An actuator extends out of the water outlet. The actuator is arranged to move the valve element against a flow direction between the open and closed positions.
