    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  4. Pressure-balanced valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-balanced_valve

    The pressure-balanced shower valve compensates for changes in water pressure. It has a diaphragm or piston inside that reacts to relative changes in either hot or cold water pressure to maintain balanced pressure. As water pressure drops on one supply line, the valve reduces the pressure in the other supply line to match.

  5. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Tap tails are normally 1 ⁄ 2 " or 12 mm in diameter for sinks and 3 ⁄ 4 " or 19 mm for baths, although continental Europe sometimes uses a 3 ⁄ 8 " (still imperial) size. The same connection method is used for a ballcock. The term tap is widely used to describe the valve used to dispense draft beer from a keg, whether gravity feed or ...

  6. Isolation valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_valve

    An isolation valve is a valve in a fluid handling system that stops the flow of process media to a given location, usually for maintenance or safety purposes. [1] They can also be used to provide flow logic (selecting one flow path versus another), and to connect external equipment to a system. [ 2 ]

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    The blue valve body is visible in-line with the pipe. The valve actuator opens or closes the butterfly disc of the valve based on electrical signals sent to the actuator. Another valve actuator is visible in the background, with windows to indicate the valve position. A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually ...

  8. Split-phase electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-phase_electric_power

    On the three secondary terminals, the center tap is grounded with a short strap to the transformer case. A split-phase or single-phase three-wire system is a type of single-phase electric power distribution. It is the alternating current (AC) equivalent of the original Edison Machine Works three-wire direct-current system. Its primary advantage ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_tapping

    Hot taps can range from a ½ inch hole designed for something as simple as quality control testing, up to a 48-inch tap for the installation of a variety of ports, valves, t-sections or other pipes. Hot Tap Procedures: A. A hot tap saddle, service saddle or welded threadolet, valve installed, assembly is pressure tested and hot tap machine ...
