  4. Pipe support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_support

    An engineered spring support upholds a specific load, including the weight of the pipe, commodity, flanges, valves, refractory, and insulation. Spring supports also allow the supported load to travel through a predetermined thermal deflection cycle from its installed condition to its operational condition. Engineered Spring Supports (Variable ...

  5. Damper (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damper_(flow)

    For vacuum-operated or pneumatically operated zone dampers, the thermostat usually switches the pressure or vacuum on or off, causing a spring-loaded rubber diaphragm to move and actuate the damper. As with the second style of electrical zone dampers, these dampers automatically return to the default position without the application of any ...

    The user (most likely a fire department) attaches a hose to the fire hydrant, then opens a valve on the hydrant to provide a powerful flow of water, on the order of 350 kilopascals (51 psi); this pressure varies according to region and depends on various factors (including the size and location of the attached water main).

  8. International Plumbing Code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Plumbing_Code

    The IPC is the most widely used plumbing code in the United States and is also used as the basis for the plumbing code of several other countries [citation needed].Wide adoptions are important as they help reduce manufacturer and end-user costs by allowing the use of materials across a wide user base, thus allowing economies of scale in the production of materials used in construction.

  9. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    A flat spring fixed only at one end like a cantilever, while the free-hanging end takes the load. Coil spring Also known as a helical spring. A spring (made by winding a wire around a cylinder) is of two types: Tension or extension springs are designed to become longer under load. Their turns (loops) are normally touching in the unloaded ...
