  • Publication number: 20240353014
    Abstract: A pressure protection valve provides more versatility and improved performance over conventional configurations. The pressure protection valve includes a valve body made of a first material (e.g., plastic) and having multiple integrated fluid connections. A valve base made of a second material (e.g., metal) is connected to the valve body at an inlet portion. A valve stem moves within the valve body to open and close the valve. Fluid connections, therefore, are integrated into the valve body with any suitable number and configuration, which therefore is adaptable with any desired valve base configuration. The valve stem is insertable through the inlet portion of the valve body during assembly, which permits overpressure protection to be blowout-proof. An internal side surface of a valve seat of the valve base, and a valve bore of the valve body through which the valve stem moves, have matched diameters to reduce hysteresis effects.

  • Patent number: 12092245
    Abstract: A swivel fitting assembly includes a female body providing a first connection end portion, and a male fitting body providing a second connection end portion. The male body and the female body are operatively coupled together to form a fluid passage between the first and second connection end portions, and are configured to permit relative rotation of the bodies relative to each other. A swivel lock mechanism is provided to rotationally lock or release the male body relative to the female body in response to a fluid pressure level in the fitting. The swivel lock includes a collar that transitions to a lock state and holds the male body when fluid pressure is at or above a predefined level. The collar transitions to a release state to enable relative rotation of the bodies when the pressure is below the predefined level.
