A trench drain (also known as a channel drain, line drain, slot drain, linear drain, or strip drain) is a specific type of floor drain featuring a trough- or channel-shaped body. It is designed for the rapid evacuation of surface water or for the containment of utility lines or chemical spills.
A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.
[1] [2] 3-way valves pressurize and exhaust one outlet port to control a single-acting cylinder or pilot another valve. [3] Three-way valves may be used in pairs to operate a double-acting cylinder, thus replacing a four-way valve. A primary function of the 3-way valve is to save/store air that's compressed in high cyclic applications. 4-way ...
The combination throttle valve connected to the check valve is called a one way flow control valve. While air passes from one direction to the other, the check valve will not allow air flow as the check valve allows flow only in one direction. While passing through the restricted way of throttle, compressed air flow takes place.
A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.
The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point.

Flutter (Heimlich) valve: a specific one-way valve used on the end of chest drain tubes to treat a pneumothorax; Foot valve: a check valve on the foot of a suction line to prevent backflow; Four-way valve: was used to control the flow of steam to the cylinder of early double-acting steam engines; Freeze seal or Freeze plug: in which freezing ...

A drain is the primary vessel or conduit for unwanted water or waste liquids to flow away, either to a more useful area, funnelled into a receptacle, or run into sewers or stormwater mains as waste discharge to be released or processed.
