Abstract: A water dispensing device for dispensing water at a location remote from a water purification unit and methods of using the water dispensing device and methods of operating such remote water dispensing devices. The water dispensing device includes a dispensing gun, a support structure for the dispensing gun, and a manifold hydraulically coupling the water purification unit with the dispensing gun for supplying a stream of water from the water purification unit to the dispensing gun. The water dispensing device is also equipped with a flow control valve operative for selectively directing the stream of water from the manifold to the dispensing gun. Equipping the remote water dispensing device with a manifold and flow regulation device permits the flow of water to be regulated locally at the water dispensing device, in contrast to regulation only at the water purification unit.

Abstract: Difficulties with accessibility to a valve and the entry of precipitation into a locking mechanism for the valve are eliminated in a security valve assembly that includes a valve body (22), (100) including a pair of spaced ports (12), (18); (102), (104) with a passage (38), (106) extending between the ports. A valve member (26), (110) is rotatable within the body between an open position and a closed position and may be rotated by an actuator (32), (118). The body (22), (100) includes a lock receiving chamber (50), (130) for removably receiving a lock (52), (136) in a direction generally transverse to the passage (38), (106).
