Testing cap for a valve body
A testing cap for a valve body includes a base configured to releasably attach to the valve body and to cover an opening in the valve body. The opening is configured to receive a valve cartridge and the base covers the opening in place of the valve cartridge. The testing cap includes a structure extending from the base. The structure is configured to be oriented relative to the valve body in a first orientation and a second orientation. The structure allows fluid to enter the valve body through an inlet port in the valve body and exit the valve body through an outlet port in the valve body when the structure is oriented in the first orientation. The structure covers at least one of the inlet port and the outlet port when the structure is oriented in the second orientation, thereby preventing fluid flow through the valve body.
Service valve for a valve body
A service valve for a valve body includes a base rotatable between an open orientation and a closed orientation relative to the valve body. When the base is in the open orientation, the service valve allows fluid flow into the valve body through the service valve. When the base is in the closed orientation, the service valve blocks the fluid flow into the valve body through the service valve. The service valve further includes a tab extending from the base. The tab prevents removal of a cover from the valve body when the base is in the open orientation.
Actuator arrangement and a method for moving a valve member into a cleaning position
An actuator arrangement configured to be controlled by a control unit and to control a flow control arrangement includes a housing, a first valve stem configured to be connected to and control movement of a first valve member of the flow control arrangement, a second valve stem configured to be connected to and control movement of a second valve member of the flow control arrangement, a first electrical motor comprising a first rotor and a first stator, the first rotor being rotatable about the longitudinal axis, a second electrical motor comprising a second rotor and a second stator, the second rotor being rotatable about the longitudinal axis, wherein the first rotor is configured to provide a first movement of the first valve stem and the second rotor is configured to provide a first movement of the second valve stem. A method for moving the first valve stem is also disclosed.
