  • Publication number: 20220178460
    Abstract: A valve arrangement having a main valve and having a pilot valve which is provided for controlling the main valve and which is inserted into a pilot valve receptacle in an insertion direction, wherein, through closure of the pilot valve, a pressure is able to be built up within a pressure chamber which is closed off by a diaphragm, whereby a valve seat between a main valve inlet and a main valve outlet is able to be closed off. By opening the pilot valve, it is possible to set a release of pressure within the pressure chamber by water flowing away via an inflow, connected to the pressure chamber, of the pilot valve receptacle and via a pilot valve inlet, adjoining the latter and formed by a main body of the pilot valve. A pilot valve outlet, formed by the main body, and via an outflow, adjoining said pilot valve outlet, into the main valve outlet, opens into the main valve outlet on the outflow side of the diaphragm.

  • Publication number: 20220170566
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a valve having an inlet device, which has at least one inlet opening and at least one outlet opening, and having a closing device for opening and closing the at least one inlet opening and/or outlet opening. The valve has an actuation device for actuating the closing device. The actuation device is guided in an axially moveable manner in a first direction in a housing. The valve further has a coupling element, which connects the actuation device and the closing device to one another such that an axial movement of the actuation device causes a movement of the closing device in a second direction that differs from the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20220136613
    Abstract: A pressure reducing valve with a valve housing, with a valve carrier in the housing interior having a throughflow channel, and with a cup-shaped valve body displaceably guided from an open position into a closed position counter to a restoring force, where the valve body abuts a valve seat on the valve carrier formed as a sealing ring, closing a channel opening. The sealing ring is held in an annular groove of the valve carrier and is axially supported by the groove flanks. The groove flank which faces the valve body ends in front of the inner circumference thereof, which abuts the sealing ring when the pressure reducing valve is closed. A sealing-lip-like circumferential molded-on formation is molded on that end face of the sealing ring which faces the valve body, and this formation moves against the inner circumference of the valve body when the primary pressure on the inlet side of the valve rises.

  • Publication number: 20220049480
    Abstract: A method for removing a jet regulator from a fixture outlet, a jet regulator and to a set consisting of a jet regulator and a tool are provided, wherein the jet regulator has a housing and a latching element mounted movably on the housing. The latching element is adjustable by a force transmission from a spring element, which is arranged inside a cutout of the housing and is accessible from outside the fixture outlet, to the latching element. The latching element, in its rest position, protrudes over the housing in order to hold the jet regulator in the fixture outlet. A tool for removal purposes is inserted in an insertion direction into the fixture outlet, and the spring element is acted upon with the tool during the insertion operation until the latching element releases the jet regulator.
