  2. Dual flush toilet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_flush_toilet

    There are also dual-flush toilets that use a siphon valve operated by a lever rather than buttons, with a ≤ 6L full flush, and a ≤ 3L half-flush if the flush handle is held down [8] or released immediately after flushing. [9] Tipping bucket. The tipping bucket cistern can operate in a dual flush mode when the lever is rotated halfway 2.5/5 ...

  3. Sleeve valve (water) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeve_valve_(water)

    Additionally, unlike conventional control valves the sleeve valve increases flow incrementally, i.e. 10% increase in stroke leads to a 10% increase in flow. Sleeve valves are adaptive to system or consumer requirements. The sleeve valve is designed to meet the requirements and allow for a wide range of variability of function.

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    A back-pressure regulator, back-pressure valve, pressure sustaining valve or pressure sustaining regulator is a control valve that maintains the set pressure at its inlet side by opening to allow flow when the inlet pressure exceeds the set value.

  5. Globe valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_valve

    This has an opening that forms a seat onto which a movable plug [2] can be screwed in to close (or shut) the valve. The plug is also called a disc. [3] In globe valves, the plug is connected to a stem which is operated by screw action using a handwheel in manual valves.

  6. Gate valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_valve

    An electric multi-turn actuator on a gate valve. A gate valve, also known as a sluice valve, is a valve that opens by lifting a barrier (gate) out of the path of the fluid. Gate valves require very little space along the pipe axis and hardly restrict the flow of fluid when the gate is fully opened.

  7. Choke valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke_valve

    Most choke valves in engines are butterfly valves mounted upstream of the carburetor jet to produce a higher partial vacuum, which increases the fuel draw. [ 1 ] In heavy industrial or fluid engineering contexts, including oil and gas production, a choke valve or choke is a particular design of valve with a solid cylinder placed inside another ...

  9. Slide valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_valve

    Cylinder, with slide valve removed to show ports A double-acting slide valve cylinder. Steam enters via the steam port SP, and is admitted by the slide valve SV through the upper passage S to push down the piston P. At the same time, exhaust steam from below the piston passes back up the lower passage S, via the valve cavity, to exhaust E. As ...
