A multiple valve control assembly is described. The multiple valve control assembly includes a first cam/lever assembly to close a first valve, and a second cam/lever assembly to close a second valve. A first locking surface of the first cam/lever assembly, when the first cam/lever assembly is in the open position, physically blocks the rotation of the second cam/lever assembly. This provides for a pressure line to be closed by the first cam/lever assembly before the tank line can be closed by the second cam/lever assembly.

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.

A medical connector includes a housing with a central axis, a hollow bore, and a narrowed passage. The connector further includes a rigid valve member configured to move along the axis of the connector as the connector moves between an open and closed configuration. The connector includes a resilient member coupled to the valve member and the housing.

A fluid coupling has two similar coupling halves, each with a rotary body of a valve. A drive device for closing/opening the valve is associated with each rotary body. Each half has a coupling means for connecting/decoupling the halves by relative rotation. Securing means secure the connection when at least one valve is open and close the two rotary valves to disconnect/connect the halves. The drive device is arranged on one half and has a drive shaft which is associated with a valve shaft of the rotary body of the other half. A locking connection is configured which, when the halves are connected, connects the drive shaft on one half to the valve shaft on the other in a non-rotatable/releasable manner such that the rotation of the rotary body is controllable and relative rotation of the halves is blocked but the relative rotation when the valves are closed is permitted.

A circuit breaker for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element and a female element. The male element includes a male body defining a first inner pipe, having a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe from at least one first radial passage of a movable valve, and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body defining a second inner pipe and provided with at least one radial passage, a movable valve and several locking members movable between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body in the female body. In the coupled configuration, the radial passages are in communication, while sealing gaskets cooperate radially with male and female bodies.

A breakaway connector apparatus for joining a first tubing section to a second tubing section includes a first member and a second member positioned axially opposite the first member. The second member includes a male portion extending from the second member. A housing is disposed between the first and second members, the housing including a socket shaped to receive the male portion of the second member. An axial passage provides a flow path defined inside the housing between the first and second members. A stem is disposed in the axial passage between the first and second members. A first valve is disposed on the first or second member, and the stem engages the first valve and opens the first valve to allow flow between the first and second members through the axial passage when the male portion of the second member is fully received in the socket of the housing.

This circuit breaker (10) for a facility for handling pressurized fluid includes a male element (100) and a female element (200) intended to fit in one another. The male element includes a male body (102) defining a first inner pipe (104) and provided with a member for closing off the front end of the first pipe, along the fitting axis, of at least one first radial passage (116), of a movable valve (118) and a locking notch arranged on the male body. The female element includes a female body (202) defining a second inner pipe (204A) and provided with at least one radial passage (256), a movable valve (218) and several locking members (242) movable transversely with respect to the fitting axis, between a first radial position, for the axial locking of the male and female bodies in the coupled configuration, and a second radial position, where the locking members free the passage of the male body (102) in the female body (202). In the coupled configuration, the radial passages (116, 256) are in communication, while sealing gaskets (266, 268) respectively cooperate radially with the male and female bodies (102, 202). A resilient return ring (246) is mounted on the female body (202) and surrounds the locking members (242). This ring resiliently returns the locking members toward their first radial position in the coupled configuration and is deformed radially, and resiliently, by the locking members during their movement, from their first radial position toward their second radial position.
