Abstract: A retainer for retaining a check valve to a valve body includes a continuous body, a first group of projections, and a second group of projections. The continuous body is configured to engage a slot of the valve body to secure the continuous body to the valve body. The continuous body is further configured to include an opening configured to receive a portion of the check valve. The first group of projections is configured to extend radially from the continuous body. The first group of projections is further configured to contact the valve body to limit rotation of the retainer relative to the valve body. The second group of projections is configured to extend axially from the continuous body. The second group of projections is further configured to engage at least one of the check valve and the valve body.

Abstract translation: 用于将止回阀保持到阀体的保持器包括连续体，第一组突起和第二组突起。 连续体构造成接合阀体的狭槽以将连续体固定到阀体上。 连续主体还被构造成包括构造成接收止回阀的一部分的开口。 第一组突起构造成从连续体径向延伸。 第一组突起进一步构造成接触阀体以限制保持器相对于阀体的转动。 第二组突起构造成从连续体轴向延伸。 第二组突起进一步构造成接合止回阀和阀体中的至少一个。

Abstract: A valve assembly includes an inlet to receive a fluid into the valve assembly, an outlet to discharge the fluid from the valve assembly and a service stop coupled to the inlet or the outlet. The service stop can rotate relative to the inlet or the outlet to control a flow of the fluid through the inlet or the outlet. The service stop can include a first tool interface to receive a first hand tool and transfer a first torque from the first hand tool to the service stop to facilitate rotating the service stop using the first hand tool. The service stop can include a second tool interface to receive a second hand tool different from the first hand tool and configured to transfer a second torque from the second hand tool to the service stop to facilitate rotating the service stop using the second hand tool.

Abstract: A flush cap for a valve body includes a substantially flat base and annular inlet portion. The substantially flat base has opposite first and second sides. The annular inlet portion extends from the first side. The annular inlet portion is configured to engage a bore in the valve body. The annular inlet portion includes an inlet bore and a tab. The tab extends from an outer surface of the annular inlet portion in a radial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the annular inlet portion. The tab is configured to selectively engage the valve body to detachably couple the flush cap to the valve body.

Abstract translation: 用于阀体的冲水盖包括基本平坦的底座和环形入口部分。 基本平坦的基部具有相对的第一和第二侧。 环形入口部分从第一侧延伸。 环形入口部分构造成接合阀体中的孔。 环形入口部分包括入口孔和突出部。 突片从环形入口部分的外表面相对于环形入口部分的纵向轴线在径向方向上延伸。 突片被构造成选择性地接合阀体以将冲洗盖可拆卸地联接到阀体。
