Abstract: A water heater and thermostatic control device for a lavatory faucet includes a hot water tank having a reservoir and a heating element disposed within the reservoir, the heating element heats ambient temperature water received by the reservoir to produce hot water, a thermal mixing valve configured to mix hot water received from the hot water tank with ambient temperature water to produce mixed temperature water. The water heater and thermostatic control device also includes a shut off valve configured to permit flow of mixed temperature water to the lavatory faucet, wherein the shut off valve includes a diaphragm and an armature assembly, and wherein the diaphragm is configured to permit air to bleed or vent through the shut off valve when the mixed temperature water is not imparting pressure on the diaphragm.

Abstract: A steering valve includes a housing and a spool disposed inside the housing. The housing includes a top plane and a bottom plane, the top plane including an opening of a first port and the bottom plane including an opening of a second port. The spool includes a top plane including a first and second opening corresponding to a third port and a fourth port, one of which is configured to align with the opening of the first port depending on the orientation of the housing. The spool also includes a bottom plane including a first and second opening corresponding to the third port and fourth port, one of which is configured to align with the opening of the second port depending on the orientation of the housing. The housing is configured to rotate around the spool and wherein the orientation of the housing determines whether the first port is fluidly coupled to the third port via the first opening in the top plane of the spool while the second port is fluidly coupled to the fourth port via the first opening on the bottom plane of the spool or whether the second port is fluidly coupled to the third port via the second opening in the top plane of the spool while the first port is fluidly coupled to the fourth port via the second opening on the bottom plane of the spool.

Abstract translation: 转向阀包括壳体和设置在壳体内部的线轴。 壳体包括顶平面和底平面，顶平面包括第一端口的开口，底平面包括第二端口的开口。 阀芯包括顶面，其包括对应于第三端口和第四端口的第一和第二开口，其中一个端口被配置为根据壳体的取向与第一端口的开口对准。 阀芯还包括底平面，其包括对应于第三端口和第四端口的第一和第二开口，其中一个开口被配置为根据壳体的取向与第二端口的开口对准。 壳体构造成围绕线轴旋转，并且壳体的取向确定第一端口是否经由线轴的顶部平面中的第一开口流体地联接到第三端口，而第二端口流体地联接到第四端口 经由阀芯的底平面上的第一开口或第二端口是否经由阀芯的顶部平面中的第二开口流体地联接到第三端口，同时第一端口经由第二开口流体地联接到第四端口 阀芯的底面。
