    Abstract: A multi-way valve assembly includes a valve housing having a plurality of fluid ports, a first valve member having one or more first flow channels defined therethrough and a first shaft, rotation of which causes rotation of the first valve member relative to the housing, the first valve member defining a cavity, and a second valve member arranged within the cavity of the first valve member and having one or more second flow channels defined therethrough and a second shaft. Rotation of the second shaft causes rotation of the second valve member relative to the housing. The assembly also includes a locking mechanism configured to, in a locked position, cause the second valve member to rotate with the first valve member relative to the housing and, in an unlocked position, to permit the second valve member to rotate relative to the first valve member and the housing.

    Abstract: A dielectric insulating insert arranged to be positioned between a drive shaft and a ball shaft of a motorised ball valve assembly. The insert includes a body of dielectric material to form an insulating layer and having opposing sides from each of which extends an engagement portion having a non-circular cross-section and configured to engage, respectively, with the drive shaft and the ball shaft in torque transfer engagement.

    Abstract: A heater assembly includes three discrete components assembled in a stack. The three discrete components are: a printed circuit board, pcb, on which are provided electrically conductive tracks which generate heat when electric power is applied to the tracks, the pcb having a first major surface and a second, opposite, major surface and a periphery joining the first and second major surfaces; a heat reflective plate; and a heater assembly housing. The heat reflective plate is sandwiched between the pcb and the heater assembly housing and where the heater assembly housing is configured to fit over the heat reflective plate and the periphery of the pcb to form a closely fitted stack of the three discrete components.

    Abstract: A fluid level sensor assembly includes a tubular housing arranged to be fitted into a fluid flow path of a system between a fluid line an inlet to a valve (1′), wherein the tubular housing defines an axial flow channel extending through the tubular housing from a first end to a second end, along an axis A, for fluid to flow from the fluid line of the system to the valve inlet, the tubular housing further comprising a sensor channel extending from the second end of the flow channel towards the first end substantially parallel to, and in fluid communication with the axial flow channel, wherein the assembly further comprises first and second sensor parts located in the sensor channel that communicate with each other.

    Abstract: A fluid level sensor assembly includes a first pipe component defining a flow path for the fluid and configured to be attached to a valve to control flow of the fluid from the first pipe component, and a fluid level sensor arranged in or on the first pipe component to detect a level of fluid in the first pipe component and to generate a command signal for operation of the valve according to the level detected. The assembly also includes an insert fitted to an end of the first pipe component and extending axially from the end to be fitted to an inlet of the valve, in use, wherein the insert is configured to secure the first pipe component against rotation relative to the valve inlet when the insert is fitted to the inlet.

    Abstract: A rotational valve includes a valve closure element, a shaft, at least one detection element, at least one detection engagement means, at least one first stop and at least one second stop. The shaft is linked to the valve closure element and the shaft can rotate between a closed position and a fully open position. Each detection element comprises an aperture and an indicator element, the shaft extends through the aperture of at least one detection element, and each detection element is in sliding engagement with the shaft. The shaft can rotate relative to the detection element, each indicator element can move between a first and a second indicator position, each indicator element abuts a first stop when in the first indicator position and abuts a second stop when in the second indicator position.
