Abstract: An integral copper press-fit connection ball valve is provided which includes a bronze central body defining a chamber and a flow path between an upstream inlet and a downstream outlet. A ball having a through passageway is positioned in the chamber and adapted to rotate between an open flow position and a closed flow position. A copper inlet press-fit retainer is connected to the inlet, and a copper outlet press-fit retainer is connected to the outlet. A ball valve seat is positioned within an inner diameter of each retainer and adapted to be compressed between the ball and the retainers on respective upstream and downstream sides of the ball for retaining the ball in a correct and functional position.

Abstract: A fill valve includes a stand pipe for positioning upright on the floor of a fluid reservoir, and a discharge tube secured at a selected position on the stand pipe by a locking collar. The discharge tube is adapted to move along the stand pipe to allow for height adjustment of the fill valve. A cap is positioned on and engages an end of the discharge tube to house a seating diaphragm, a stem, and a guide ring. The cap uses a snap-on feature that allows for extended fill height adjustment. A float is positioned around the discharge tube and is adapted to move along the discharge tube as the fluid level in the reservoir changes. The discharge tube includes a refill tube connection for filling the reservoir, and a connection for a thermal expansion device to be connected to an interior of the stand pipe.
