Watts Water Technologies, Inc. is an American manufacturing company based in North Andover, Massachusetts, that makes valve products for plumbing and heating, such as water pressure regulators and other valves. [1] Watts is one of the largest manufacturers of water valves in the United States. The company was founded by Joseph Watts ...

4. Reduced pressure zone device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_pressure_zone_device

   Because certain combinations of check valve failure and/or system backpressure cause the relief valve to discharge, the device must be mounted in a location where the drain will not become flooded. An example of where backflow would harm the water supply is the use of well washing devices inside underground sewerage pumping stations.

5. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate, independent of variations in system pressure. These valves achieve this using **pressure-compensated mechanisms**, which automatically adjust the valve opening to ensure a steady flow rate.

6. Butterfly valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_valve

   The valves used in these industries are usually manufactured according to cGMP guidelines (current good manufacturing practice). Butterfly valves generally replaced ball valves in many industries, particularly petroleum, due to lower cost and ease of installation, but pipelines containing butterfly valves cannot be 'pigged' for cleaning.

7. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

   A Tesla valve, called a valvular conduit by its inventor, is a fixed-geometry passive check valve. It allows a fluid to flow preferentially in one direction, without moving parts. The device is named after Nikola Tesla, who was awarded U.S. patent 1,329,559 in 1920 for its invention. The patent application describes the invention as follows: [1]
