SANITARY WATER VALVE WITH ACTUATING MECHANICS

Multi-function water tap

내용 없음. No content.

One-handle water-mixing cock

The water mixer tap comprises a body (1) defining a dispenser chamber (2) connected to a dispenser conduit (3). A movable shutter disc (10) is provided in the mixing chamber (2), and is operable by means of an external lever (4) and acts on two seats (11,12), respectively communicating to a hot water inlet conduit and to a cold water inlet conduit. The movable disc (10) defines at least one seat (11,12) control port (20) which leads into the mixing chamber (2). The peculiarity of the invention resides in the fact that the control port (20) defines useful flow sections for the water which are variable along planes substantially perpendicular to the plane of contact between the seats (11,12) and said movable shutter disc (10).

Zero internal pressure cartridge

The valve includes a sleeve having a water inlet and a water outlet. There is a stem movable within the sleeve, to control the flow of water from the inlet to the outlet. A pressure piston is positioned within the sleeve and coaxially arranged with the stem. The pressure piston is fixed relative to the sleeve and is within the path of flow from the sleeve inlet to the sleeve outlet. A fixed seal is positioned between the stem and the pressure. A seal of equal diameter, is carried by the stem and is in sealing engagement with the sleeve.
