  • Valve with integral insert-cast seat and related method
    Patent number: 10774939
    Abstract: A valve device includes a metal valve body defining a water passageway between an inlet and an outlet of the body. A valve seat of a different material than the valve body is insert-cast molded integral with the valve body. The configuration of the valve seat and the mass of the valve body surrounding the seat being sufficiently large reduces a chilling effect during molding such that a pressure-tight and waterproof interface is formed between adjacent surfaces of the valve body and the valve seat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 12, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 15, 2020
    Assignee: Cla-Val Co.
    Inventors: Martin W. Pickett, Robert Lewis Ogden, Jr., David Rose, Robert Folk, Ryan W. Pickett
