3. Automatic balancing valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_balancing_valve

   A diaphragm within the valve keeps the outlet pressure constant, and this delivers a constant flow to the terminal. The added advantage of pressure independent control valves is that, when fitted with an actuator, they replace the manual balancing valve and motorized control valve with a single valve, thus reducing installation cost. [citation ...

4. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia
