An embodiment of a fluid valve includes a substantially flat face plate, a receptacle, a cavity, and a valve assembly. The receptacle is disposed in the face plate and has at least one protrusion each configured to engage a respective at least one groove of a valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device. The cavity has a front end in fluid communication with the receptacle, and has a rear end. And the valve assembly is disposed in the cavity, includes a first sealing ring, is configured to form a seal by urging the sealing ring against the rear end of the cavity in response to the valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device being absent from the receptacle, and is configured to allow fluid to flow into the rear end of the cavity in response to the valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device being disposed in the receptacle.

A one way valve cartridge for a flow assembly includes a housing having an axial aperture formed therein. A leading ring is coupled to the housing. A piston is disposed in the housing and is in sliding relationship with the leading ring. The piston is configured to reciprocate between a closed position to seal the axial aperture and an open position to permit a flow of fluid through the axial aperture. A spring urges the piston into the closed position to seal with the housing.

A fully serviceable frost proof mixing hydrant for supplying water at various temperatures to the exterior of a building. The mixing hydrant includes hot and cold water inlets and a chamber in which the water is mixed based on the position of a cammed wheel acting on a pair of poppets. These poppets act as temperature regulators and check valves to prevent cross-flow leakage and/or contamination. The mixing hydrant includes an inside tube or flow sleeve for delivery of water to an outside body tube in communication with a spout on the head of the hydrant. The flow from the inside tube to the outside body tube reduces turbulence and provides a better outlet flow from the spout. Flow control and temperature control are independent allowing the user to set the flow as desired then adjust the temperature as desired without affecting the flow.

A turbulence reducer may be integrated in the vacuum breaker prevents leakage during use of the hydrant by reducing turbulence acting on the vacuum breaker poppet. Additionally, the user is able to service all aspects of the hydrant from outside the building

Embodiments provide systems and methods for releasing grey water from an aircraft sink or sump using an improved waste water air stop valve. The valves described herein allow drainage of waste water, without air leakage. Additionally, if drainage in the piping is blocked, the valves are designed to ensure that water cannot flow back into the sinks or sumps.

A vacuum breaker valve includes a valve body and a vacuum breaking device mounted in the valve body. The valve body has a periphery provided with multiple air vent holes corresponding to the vacuum breaking device. The vacuum breaking device includes a mounting barrel, an elastic member, a braking member, a mounting plate, a water stop gasket, and a water inlet disk. The vacuum breaking device is assembled previously and then directly fitted into the valve body to construct the vacuum breaker valve. Thus, the vacuum breaking device and the valve body are combined together for a whole sale or the vacuum breaking device and the valve body are sold individually.

A vacuum breaker having a supporting rib and a skirted section is disclosed. The supporting rib is configured to be axially aligned with air slots in an outlet tube and provide a more robust vacuum breaker sleeve under extreme operating conditions. The skirted section can prevent leakage through air slots during high back pressure operating conditions.
