Abstract: A flow meter trap primer valve assembly for regulating flow includes an inlet for receiving water from a supply, a check valve mounted within an adaptor having an elongate bore forming a jet, and the check valve includes a piston mounted within a cartridge. A biasing element normally urges the piston against a trap seat.

Abstract: A priming-water conduit from a sink water faucet unit to a floor drain p-trap is located between the faucet valve and the faucet water-outlet. The faucet valve controls water flow into said conduit, and, therefore, into said p-trap, without any other valve or control system. The priming-water conduit may be attached, and in fluid communication with, various structures of the faucet that are downstream of the faucet valve(s), such as: the mixing chamber of a mixing faucet; the water line from the mixing chamber to the faucet outlet/nozzle; or any water-containing structure that is downstream of the faucet valve. Each time the faucet is turned on, by means of the manual faucet valve, a portion of the water passing from the valve to the mixing chamber and/or by other routes to the faucet outlet/nozzle, will flow into the priming-water conduit and to the p-trap.

Abstract: A water hammer arrestor and drain trap primer valve includes a hollow pipe having a closed end, a discharging end, an inlet, an outlet port connected to said discharging end and attachable to plumbing tubing, an inlet port connected to said inlet and attachable to plumbing tubing, an insert plug within said pipe positioned at said discharging end and at said inlet, said insert plug substantially tubular with opposing flats, and having a longitudinal cylindrical bore and a latitudinal threaded through bore, a port bolt within a portion of said insert plug and a portion of said inlet port, said port bolt substantially tubular and having a longitudinal cylindrical bore and a latitudinal through bore distributor aligned with the insert plug longitudinal cylindrical bore, and a check piston within said pipe and slidingly engageable with said insert plug and said outlet port wherein said check piston engages slidably responsive to water pressure changes at said inlet port and an integral air gap outlet.

Abstract: An automatic adjustable trap priming valve includes a housing through which inlet water to a frequently used plumbing fixture flows; a diverter member which extends across the housing, the diverter member providing an interior passageway which communicates with a delivery line leading to a floor drain trap and a side opening which communicates with the interior passageway, the opening facing a downstream side of the diverter member; a needle valve in the interior passageway for adjusting the flow of water through the opening to the interior passageway in the diverter member and to the delivery line, and a flap for opening and closing the diverter member opening.

Abstract: A trap primer that includes a spring-loaded piston wherein the trap primer includes a body and the piston is slidably received therein and includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced fingers.
