Abstract: In a pilot-type valve, a valve box enclosing a main valve is arranged in a state wherein same is sandwiched between pipe flanges tightened to one another with bolts. In the pilot-type valve, a pilot valve is used to control a driving force required to operate the main valve to open and close same. In addition, the valve box is flangeless at its connection end portions for connection with the pipe flanges and has an inlet and outlet for a pressurized fluid. A cover flange neck extended upward from the valve box is constricted only at sites on its walls corresponding to adjacent bolts extended between the pipe flanges, so that the cover flange neck can be passed through the interval between these bolts.

Abstract: In a pilot-type valve, a valve box enclosing a main valve is flangeless, and the valve box is arranged in a state sandwiched between pipe flanges. In the pilot-type valve that uses a pilot valve to control a driving force required to operate a main valve 2 to open and close the main valve 2,valve box 6 enclosing the main valve 2 is sandwiched between pipe flanges F, F1 tightened to each other with bolts B, B1, . . . and nuts N, N1, . . . . In addition, the valve box 6 is flangeless at its connection end portions 11, 12 for connection with the pipe flanges F, F1 and having an inlet and outlet 7 and 8 for a pressurized fluid respectively. A cover flange neck 18 extended upward from the valve box 6 is restricted only at sites on its wide walls corresponding to the bolts B, B1 extended between the pipe flanges F, F1 and adjacent to each other on the circumferences of the pipe flanges F, F1, so that the cover flange neck 18 can be passed through the interval between the bolts B, B1 at this restricted portion.

Abstract: A pipe joint has a joint main body, a union nut connected to the joint main body, and a lock ring. The lock ring has a tubular wall, and a first axial end and a second axial end of the tubular wall are deformable by inner walls of tapered hole portion of the joint main body and the union nut. The lock ring has a first tapered opening portion providing a first groove for receiving a first end of a first pipe member and a second tapered opening portion providing a second groove for receiving a second end of a second pipe member, in a radial inside of the tubular wall. A radial outer surface of the first tapered opening portion and a radial outer surface of the second tapered opening portion are tapered such that the first groove and the second groove are narrowed toward its ends, respectively.
