  2. Plumbing fixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumbing_fixture

    A wall-mounted shower sensor. In public facilities, the trend is toward sensor-operated (automatic) fixtures that improve hygiene and save money. For example, sensor operated automatic-flush urinals have fewer moving parts, reduce wear, and tend to last longer than manual-flush valves. Also, they ensure fixtures are flushed only once per use.

  3. Piping and plumbing fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_plumbing_fitting

    Valves stop (or regulate) the flow of liquids or gases. They are categorized by application, such as isolation, throttling, and non-return. Isolation valves temporarily disconnect part of a piping system to allow maintenance or repair, for example. Isolation valves are typically left in either a fully open or closed position.

  4. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

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

    Turning a valve knob or lever adjusts flow by varying the aperture of the control device in the valve assembly. The result when opened in any degree is a choked flow . Its rate is independent of the viscosity or temperature of the fluid or gas in the pipe, and depends only weakly on the supply pressure , so that flow rate is stable at a given ...

  5. Tankless water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankless_water_heating

    The main disadvantage of these systems other than their high initial costs (equipment and installation) is the required yearly maintenance. In order to provide on-demand, continuous hot water, tankless units use heat exchangers with many small passageways consisting of parallel plates or tubes.

  6. Ligament (bivalve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligament_(bivalve)

    When the adductor muscles of a bivalve mollusk contract, the valves close, which compresses the ligament. When the adductor muscles relax again, the elastic resiliency of the ligament reopens the shell. Scallops swim through the water column by rapidly and repeatedly clapping (opening and closing) their valves. An interesting fact about ...

  7. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    A blowdown valve (BDV) is a type of shutdown valve designed to depressurize a pressure vessel by directing vapour to a flare, vent or blowdown stack in an emergency. BDVs fail-safe to the open position upon failure of the control system. [1] The type of valve, type of actuation and performance measurement are similar to an ESD valve.

  8. Adductor muscles (bivalve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adductor_muscles_(bivalve)

    The adductor muscles are the main muscular system in bivalve mollusks (e.g. in clams, scallops, mussels, oysters, etc.). In many parts of the world, when people eat scallops, the adductor muscles are the only part of the animal which is eaten. Adductor muscles leave noticeable scars or marks on the interior of the shell's valves.

  9. Scallop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scallop

    Scallop (/ ˈ s k ɒ l ə p, ˈ s k æ l ə p /) [a] is a common name that encompasses various species of marine bivalve mollusks in the taxonomic family Pectinidae, the scallops.However, the common name "scallop" is also sometimes applied to species in other closely related families within the superfamily Pectinoidea, which also includes the thorny oysters.
