2. Check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

   A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [ 1 ] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave.

3. Ball valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_valve

   In reduced bore (sometimes reduced port) ball valves, flow through the valve is one pipe size smaller than the valve's pipe size resulting in the flow area being smaller than the pipe. As the flow discharge remains constant and is equal to the area of flow (A) times velocity (V), A 1 V 1 = A 2 V 2 {\displaystyle A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}} the ...

4. Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve

   Schematic 3 way ball valve: L-shaped ball right, T-shaped left. Valves with three ports serve many different functions. A few of the possibilities are listed here. Three-way ball valves come with T- or L-shaped fluid passageways inside the rotor. The T valve might be used to permit connection of one inlet to either or both outlets or connection ...

5. Double check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_check_valve

   A double check valve or double check assembly (DCA) is a backflow prevention device designed to protect water supplies from contamination. [1] It is different from the two-way check valves (sometimes erroneously referred to as double check valves) used in air brake systems on heavy trucks which select from the highest pressure source.

6. National pipe thread - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_pipe_thread

   The half-angle (between the taper surface and the axis of the pipe) is arctan(1 ⁄ 32) ≈ 1.7899° ≈ 1° 47′. The standard for Nominal Pipe Size (often abbreviated NPS, which should not be confused with the abbreviation NPS for the straight thread form standard) is loosely related to the inside diameter of Schedule 40 series of sizes.

7. Plug valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug_valve

   A 3-way plug valve could also be designed to shift flow between ports 1 and 2, 2 and 3, or 1 and 3, and possibly even connect all three ports together. The flow-directing possibilities in multi-port plug valves are similar to the possibilities in corresponding multi-port ball valves or corresponding multi-port valves with a rotor.
