Patent number: 10864588Abstract: A method of sealing a metal retainer to a metal valve body that includes the steps of applying a soldering paste in a predetermined amount to the threads of a threaded retainer and threading the retainer into the threads of a threaded opening in the valve. The retainer is heated to a temperature sufficient to liquefy and disperse the soldering paste into spaces between the threads of the retainer and the threads of the opening in the valve to thereby achieve an adhesive seal.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Conbraco Industries, Inc.Inventors: Bertito Tubo Rodriguez, Kevin Gerome Porterfield, Rudy Ray Stewart

Patent number: 10323394Abstract: A backflow preventer that includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet adapted to be mounted in a liquid flow configuration in a liquid supply circuit. An upstream check disc assembly is positioned in the housing downstream of the inlet, and includes an upstream check plate supporting a downstream diaphragm. An upstream check disc is positioned downstream of the diaphragm and integrally formed with an upstream stem mounted in an aperture in a central hub formed in the check plate for movement between an normally open, flow position and a closed position preventing backflow of liquid through the inlet. A downstream check disc assembly is positioned in the housing downstream from the upstream check disc assembly. A vent discharges liquid to atmosphere upstream of the downstream check disc assembly.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2017Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: Conbraco Industries, Inc.Inventors: Raymond E. Cellemme, Bertito Tubo Rodriguez
