Flush valve
11536014 · 2022-12-27 · ·

A flush valve includes a valve housing defining a fluid passageway between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The fluid passageway includes a diaphragm valve seat disposed between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. The flush valve additionally includes a diaphragm assembly including a diaphragm and a disc. The diaphragm includes a primary opening and a bypass opening. The primary opening receives the disc therein and the bypass opening allowing water under pressure supplied to the fluid inlet to pass from a fluid inlet side of the diaphragm into a chamber in the fluid passageway. The flush valve additionally includes a relief valve configured to selectively control fluid flow from the chamber to the fluid outlet. The relief valve comprises a stationary valve element and a rotatable valve element each having at least one opening and being rotationally positionable relative to one another to regulate fluid flow.

Valve assembly and method for leak testing pipes using the valve assembly
11513022 · 2022-11-29 ·

A valve assembly includes a valve housing having an inlet, an outlet and an opening, and an insert removably insertable in the opening. The insert has a first side facing upwards and a second side facing downwards when positioned in the opening. The first side and the second side have a conduit positioned therebetween, and a control valve located at least partially within the conduit and movable between an open position and a closed position. The control valve in the closed position stops fluid from passing through the conduit. When the insert is inserted in the opening and the control valve is in the closed position, the insert substantially seals the inlet and stops fluid flowing to the outlet.

ROTARY SLIDE VALVE FOR REGULATING A FLOW OF FLUID, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A ROTARY SLIDE VALVE
20220364650 · 2022-11-17 · ·

The invention relates to a method for producing a rotary slide valve for regulating a flow of a fluid, comprising a rotary slide (02) which is rotatably mounted about a rotational axis (R) in a valve housing. The method has the steps of: producing the rotary slide (02) in an injection molding method, in particular in a plastic injection molding method; producing at least one circumferential or casing section (04) of the valve housing (03) in an injection molding method, in particular in a plastic injection molding method; and installing the rotary slide valve or a precursor thereof. According to the invention, a gap is formed between the rotary slide (02) and the directly adjacent valve housing circumferential or casing section (04) of the valve housing (03) in the radial direction, said gap allowing the rotary slide (02) to rotate about the rotational axis (R) and facilitating a seal which does not exceed a tolerable leak between the rotary slide (02) and the circumferential or casing section (04) of the valve housing (03).

Hydraulic Low-Torque Valve Conversion Apparatus and Method
20220364657 · 2022-11-17 ·

A conversion kit creates a redundant hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical control functionality for low-torque, quarter-turn plug valves in remote production environments (i.e., rural or subsea pipelines). The conversion kit comprises at least one custom end cap fitted to the valve and comprising a socket receiving a rotator attachment. Each rotator attachment is in turn connected to a crossover which connects to a bracket remotely actuated via hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical control. The linear movement of the bracket and the attached crossover[s] is converted to rotational force which is transmitted through the rotator attachments to the at least one valve.

OIL VALVE
20230055194 · 2023-02-23 · ·

A valve stem for use in a fluid flow control valve having a valve body configured to receive a portion of the valve stem and to enable the valve stem to selectively rotate within the valve body between a fully-open position, where fluid is permitted to flow through the fluid flow control valve, and a fully-closed position, where fluid is prevented from flowing through the fluid flow control valve. The valve stem includes an elongate valve stem arm having a first end and a second end and a valve stem head integrally formed with and fixedly attached to the second end of the valve stem arm. The valve stem head includes a fluid inlet formed in the valve stem head, and a fluid outlet formed in the valve stem head, and a fluid passage that directs fluid from the fluid inlet, through the valve stem, and out of the fluid outlet.
