ValvePattern |
The configuration of the ports of a valve according to either the linear route taken by a fluid flowing through the valve or by the number of ports where:
SINGLEPORT: Valve that has a single entry port from the system that it serves, the exit port being to the surrounding environment.
ANGLED_2_PORT: Valve in which the direction of flow is changed through 90 degrees.
STRAIGHT_2_PORT: Valve in which the flow is straight through.
STRAIGHT_3_PORT: Valve with three separate ports.
CROSSOVER_4_PORT: Valve with 4 separate ports. |

ValveOperation |
The method of valve operation where:
DROPWEIGHT: A valve that is closed by the action of a weighted lever being released, the weight normally being prevented from dropping by being held by a wire, the closure normally being made by the action of heat on a fusible link in the wire
FLOAT: A valve that is opened and closed by the action of a float that rises and falls with water level. The float may be a ball attached to a lever or other mechanism
HYDRAULIC: A valve that is opened and closed by hydraulic actuation
LEVER: A valve that is opened and closed by the action of a lever rotating the gate within the valve.
LOCKSHIELD: A valve that requires the use of a special lockshield key for opening and closing, the operating mechanism being protected by a shroud during normal operation.
MOTORIZED: A valve that is opened and closed by the action of an electric motor on an actuator
PNEUMATIC: A valve that is opened and closed by pneumatic actuation

ValveMechanism |
The mechanism by which the valve function is achieved where:
BALL: Valve that has a ported ball that can be turned relative to the body seat ports.
BUTTERFLY: Valve in which a streamlined disc pivots about a diametric axis.
CONFIGUREDGATE: Screwdown valve in which the closing gate is shaped in a configured manner to have a more precise control of pressure and flow change across the valve.
GLAND: Valve with a tapered seating, in which a rotatable plug is retained by means of a gland and gland packing.
GLOBE: Screwdown valve that has a spherical body.
LUBRICATEDPLUG: Plug valve in which a lubricant is injected under pressure between the plug face and the body.
NEEDLE: Valve for regulating the flow in or from a pipe, in which a slender cone moves along the axis of flow to close against a fixed conical seat.
PARALLELSLIDE: Screwdown valve that has a machined plate that slides in formed grooves to form a seal.
PLUG: Valve that has a ported plug that can be turned relative to the body seat ports.

FaucetType |
Defines the range of faucet types that may be specified where:
Bib: Faucet with a horizontal inlet and a nozzle that discharges downwards.
Globe: Faucet fitted through the end of a bath, with a horizontal inlet, a partially spherical body and a vertical nozzle.
Diverter: Combination faucet assembly with a valve to enable the flow of mixed water to be transferred to a showerhead.
DividedFlowCombination: Combination faucet assembly in which hot and cold water are kept separate until emerging from a common nozzle
.
Pillar: Faucet that has a vertical inlet and a nozzle that discharges downwards
.
SingleOutletCombination = Combination faucet assembly in which hot and cold water mix before emerging from a common nozzle
.
Spray: Faucet with a spray outlet
.
SprayMixing: Spray faucet connected to hot and cold water supplies that delivers water at a temperature determined during use. |

FaucetOperation |
Defines the range of ways in which a faucet can be operated that may be specified where:
CeramicDisc: Quick action faucet with a ceramic seal to open or close the orifice
.
LeverHandle: Quick action faucet that is operated by a lever handle
.
NonConcussiveSelfClosing: Self closing faucet that does not induce surge pressure
.
QuarterTurn: Quick action faucet that can be fully opened or shut by turning the operating mechanism through 90 degrees.
QuickAction: Faucet that can be opened or closed fully with a single small movement of the operating mechanism
.
ScrewDown: Faucet in which a plate or disc is moved, by the rotation of a screwed spindle, to close or open the orifice.
SelfClosing: Faucet that is opened by pressure of the top of an operating spindle and is closed under the action of a spring or weight when the pressure is released.
TimedSelfClosing: Self closing faucet that discharges for a predetermined period of time
