Abstract: A pre-rinse spray valve includes a spray face assembly that includes a spray face fixture that includes a face plate and a rear end flange. The face plate defines a plurality of spray holes extending axially through the face plate. Each of the plurality of spray holes is defined in part by a conically diverging surface projecting from the back side of the face plate. Overmold bores are defined through the outer periphery of the face plate. An overmold is a unitary structure that continuously covers a peripheral region of the upper surface of the face plate, a side rim of the face plate and a peripheral ledge of the face plate. The overmold includes cords, and each of the cords threads through a respective one of the overmold bores to permanently attach the overmold to the face plate.

The system has a shear pin linkage between the actuator and the valve stem and a position indicator independent of the actuator, to maintain functionality in the event of shear pin failure; and/or lockout functionality to prevent an inadvertent switch to bypass when switching between drum A and drum B and to lock down bypass mode to prevent an inadvertent switch from bypass to an open drum.

Abstract: The hydrant monitoring system determines whether water is present in a dry-barrel fire hydrant. The hydrant monitoring system couples to a port of the hydrant using a hydrant port adapter. The hydrant monitoring system supports an operator interface unit mounted within a protective frame next to the hydrant on a fixed arm. A movable arm carries a distance sensor aimed downward that slides into and out of the hydrant on the fixed arm. The hydrant monitoring system is used by making a first distance measurement outside of the hydrant, making a second distance measurement inside of the hydrant, and subtracting the two to determine how far below ground level the bottom of the barrel is. If the bottom is not at a predetermined depth, a request to drain or service the hydrant may be initiated.

Abstract: A connector system for medical fluid includes a male connector and a female connector that have a closed configuration when detached from one another. The first end of the male connector is configured to mate with a first end of the female connector. When the male connector is coupled with the female connector, complementary structures engage to move seals away from ports in the male connector and the female connector, opening a fluid pathway through the connectors. The mating ends of the connectors are not exposed to the medical fluid when the connectors are coupled so that when the connectors are disconnected, the mating ends are substantially free of residual medical fluid.

Abstract: A packer actuation system for a blowout preventer includes a packer arrangement with an axial passage therethrough, an actuation system which is releasably mechanically connected to the packer arrangement, a contractor arrangement, and a retractor arrangement. The actuation system moves the packer arrangement from an expanded position to a contracted position so as to decrease a dimension of the axial passage, and to move the packer arrangement from the contracted position to the expanded position so as to increase the dimension of the axial passage. The contractor arrangement moves the packer arrangement from the expanded position to the contracted position. The retractor arrangement moves the packer arrangement from the contracted position to the expanded position.

Abstract: A Lockout Tagout (LOTO) device is configured to positively and securely lock out various types of valves, such as air actuated valves. In particular, the LOTO device serves as a lock block at the air inlet of a valve, thereby preventing the inadvertent connection of an air source to the valve while it is closed. The LOTO device may also be tagged. Thus, when installed, the LOTO device and its accompanying tag serve as both a physical and visual indicator that the valve to which it is attached is out of service and should not be handled, actuated, opened, or tampered with.
