A synchronous switch valve core with a voltage stabilizing function, comprising: a valve core housing (1), a valve core base (2), a flow regulating module, and a balancing hydraulic module. The flow regulating module is capable of cutting off a cold/hot water path before water enters a pressure balancing module, thus preventing high-temperature water from immersing the valve core, preventing the building of lime scale, protecting the valve core, and extending the service life; moreover, water flow can enter the pressure balancing module only after flowing through the flow regulating module, thus preventing the channeling of hot and cold, and obviating the need to install a check valve at a water intake elbow. By means of an optimized design with respect to the parts of the synchronous switch valve core, the synchronous valve core is transformed from a switch capable only of regulating flow into a switch not only capable of regulating flow but also capable of synchronized switching, and also capable of balancing the pressures within two channels, thus transforming a product equipped with the vale core from a complex channel into a simple channel, and obviating the need for separately providing a balancing module part; a valve body is structurally simple, has a shortened water path, and is inexpensive.

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 bypass valve includes a base defining a base sealing surface, the base defining an upstream utility bore, a downstream utility bore, a meter inlet bore, and a meter outlet bore each extending into the base sealing surface; and a selector defining a selector sealing surface and a front surface, a primary passage and a secondary passage defined within the selector between the selector sealing surface and the front surface, the primary passage being isolated from the secondary passage, the selector defining at least one primary passage bore extending into the selector sealing surface and connected in fluid communication with the primary passage, the selector defining at least one secondary passage bore extending into the selector sealing surface and connected in fluid communication with the secondary passage.

A multi-way valve includes an upper valve body, a lower valve body and a rotary valve core. The upper valve body and the lower valve body are provided respectively with an upper mounting hole and a lower mounting hole. The rotary valve core is provided passing through the upper mounting hole and the lower mounting hole, respectively. The rotary valve core is formed with a first stepped surface facing toward the upper valve body, and an adjusting nut, which is located below the rotary valve core, is provided in the lower mounting hole. The rotary valve core is moved up and down axially by adjusting the adjusting nut such that an axial clearance between the first stepped surface and the upper valve body is adjusted, so the rotary valve core may flexibly rotate at different temperatures to prevent the multi-way valve from being stuck.

A rotary valve can include a seat and a rotary actuator, each with a surface, the rotary actuator rotatably mounted to a housing. The surfaces can form a seal due to their engagement with an engagement force used to maintain the engagement. One biasing device can elevate pressure in a sealed volume in the valve at a constant level above an external pressure. The elevated pressure can produce a pressure differential across the rotary actuator, thereby producing at least a portion of the engagement force. Another biasing device can act between a splined hub and a mated splined shaft, thereby applying at least a portion of the engagement force through the shaft to the rotary actuator. Fluid flowing through a screen can create a pressure drop, thereby causing a pressure differential across the rotary actuator and applying at least a portion of the engagement force to the surfaces.

The invention relates to a valve with a variable opening (10) for controlling the flow of a mixture of solids and fluids, such as the mixture present in petroleum processing equipment. The valve comprises: —a tubular pipe (12), —first (14) and second (16) planar plates extending transversally to the pipe (12), one of which is rigidly connected to the pipe (12) and the other is able to pivot. The plates are drilled with a central opening (141, 161) and a plurality of peripheral openings (143, 163) which are arranged circumferentially around the central opening, and at least the form and spacing of which match. Each peripheral opening (143) of the first plate with openings is surrounded by a shaft (145) which is rigidly connected to the first plate with openings and projects from a surface (14a) of said plate, which surface is located on the side opposite the second plate with openings. Said shafts enable redirection of debris falling onto the first plate.
