A bypass valve apparatus may include an upper body, a lower body in which the upper surface thereof is coupled with the lower surface of the upper body and the lower surface thereof is coupled to an upper end portion of the compressed air passage, a solenoid disposed in the upper body, a plunger movable in the hollow of the upper body and the hollow of the lower body depending on the electric source supplied to the solenoid, a return spring returning the plunger to the original position when the electric source of the solenoid is released, an inlet, an outlet formed at a side end portion of the lower body, and a taper groove formed in a taper shape at a portion spaced from the outlet on an internal circumference in the hollow of the lower body.

A rotary filling machine includes a hub member and a hub insert. The hub member includes an internal bore defining an inner surface portion with a plurality of material transfer openings. The hub insert includes a portion disposed within the bore, wherein the portion includes an outer surface portion that includes a plurality of material transfer openings. One of the hub member or the hub insert is rotatable and the other of the hub member or the hub insert is stationary.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a valve assembly including a supply housing with a first bore and an injectable housing coupled to the supply housing with a second bore. The valve assembly further includes a piston extending through at least a portion of the first and second bores, the piston being reciprocable axially along a longitudinal axis. The valve assembly also includes a first inlet at a first end of the supply housing for directing a working fluid toward a first end of the piston. The valve assembly includes a second inlet extending through the injectable housing toward a cavity that receives an injectable material. The valve assembly also includes a second outlet at a second end of the injectable housing that directs the injectable material out of the injectable housing as the piston moves axially along the longitudinal axis.

A water distribution system having a dual use water treatment unit. The same water treatment unit can be used to treat water supplied from a fill port to a storage tank during a fill operation, as well as water leaving the storage tank for supply to one or more points of water use during a supply operation. When a diverter valve is in a fill position, water supplied to the fill port can flow through the diverter valve and to the water treatment unit for treatment then to the storage tank for storage. When the diverter valve is in a supply position, the water from the storage tank can be delivered using means for pressurizing water to the same treatment unit for treatment, then through the diverter valve and to a point of water use device.

A bypass valve apparatus may include an upper body, a lower body in which the upper surface thereof is coupled with the lower surface of the upper body and the lower surface thereof is coupled to an upper end portion of the compress air passage, a solenoid disposed the upper body, a plunger movable in the hollow of the upper body and the hollow of the lower body depending on electric source supplied to the solenoid, a return spring returning the plunger to the original position when electric source of the solenoid is released, an inlet, an outlet formed at a side end portion of the lower body, and a taper groove slantingly dug at a portion facing to the outlet on an internal circumference of the hollow of the lower body.

A valve arrangement comprises first and second valves mechanically interconnected for synchronous operation with one another so as to be switchable by a single action between first and second fluid flow configurations. The first configuration provides a first path for first fluid to flow from a first inlet to a first outlet and a second path for second fluid to flow from a second inlet to a second outlet. The second configuration provides paths for first fluid to flow from the first inlet to both the first and second outlets while closing the path from the second inlet. In one application, the arrangement allows a convenient method of disinfecting a water-consuming appliance such as a shower.

A fluid dispensing system includes a manifold port assembly having a housing with an inlet port and a plurality of outlet ports formed thereon and a carousel bounding a plurality of spaced apart fluid paths that each extend therethrough from a corresponding first end to an opposing corresponding second end, at least a portion of at least one of the fluid paths being completely radially encircled by the carousel at a spaced apart location from the housing. A fluid source is fluid coupled with the inlet port of the manifold port assembly. Each of a plurality of containers are fluid coupled with a select one of the outlet ports of the manifold port assembly. A motor is coupled with the carousel for rotating the carousel relative to the housing.
