Fluid valve fitting having an integrated fluid bypass valve

摘要

A fluid valve fitting has an incoming conduit with an inlet, an outlet, and a coupling assembly for its outlet, and an outgoing conduit with an inlet, an outlet, and a coupling assembly for its inlet. The fitting also has a bypass conduit between the incoming and the outgoing conduits, an inflow valve in the incoming conduit, an outflow valve in the outgoing conduit, and a bypass valve in the bypass conduit. An actuator assembly is coupled to lock mechanisms of the coupling assemblies, the inflow valve, the outflow valve, and the bypass valve. Operation of the actuator assembly concurrently operates the lock mechanisms, the inflow valve, the outflow valve, and the bypass valve.

1. A fluid valve fitting comprising:
an incoming conduit comprising a first inlet, a first outlet, and a first coupling assembly for the first outlet, the first coupling assembly comprising a first lock mechanism; an outgoing conduit comprising a second inlet, a second outlet, and a second coupling assembly for the second inlet, the second coupling assembly comprising a second lock mechanism; a bypass conduit coupled between the incoming conduit and the outgoing conduit; an inflow valve located in the incoming conduit between the first inlet and the first outlet, and configured to be positioned in an open inflow valve state and a closed inflow valve state; an outflow valve located in the outgoing conduit between the second inlet and the second outlet, and configured to be positioned in an open outflow valve state and a closed outflow valve state; a bypass valve located in the bypass conduit between the incoming conduit and the outgoing conduit, and configured to be positioned in an open bypass valve state and a closed bypass valve state; and an actuator assembly coupled to the first lock mechanism, the second lock mechanism, the inflow valve, the outflow valve, and the bypass valve, wherein operation of the actuator assembly concurrently operates the first lock mechanism, the second lock mechanism, the inflow valve, the outflow valve, and the bypass valve.
