    Abstract: A valve subassembly includes a body plug, a poppet, and a seat carrier. The body plug includes a tubular side wall defining a central cavity and one or more lateral flow apertures in the side wall. The poppet includes axially extending upper and lower stem portions and a radially extending poppet sealing portion between the upper and lower stem portions, with the lower stem portion and the poppet sealing portion being received in the central cavity of the body plug. The seat carrier is assembled with the body plug and includes a central bore receiving the upper stem portion of the poppet therethrough, the seat carrier retaining a seat seal in radial alignment with the poppet sealing portion.

    Abstract: An actuator assembly includes a unitary actuator housing, a plurality of pilot valves, and a plurality of actuating members. The actuator housing defines a plurality of actuator cavities and a plurality of internal passages each extending from a corresponding actuation ports on the actuator housing to a corresponding one of the actuator cavities, and an internal pressurization passage extending from a single supply port on the actuator housing to a plurality of branch ports each adjacent a corresponding one of the actuation ports. The pilot valves each have an inlet port coupled to a corresponding branch port and an outlet port coupled to a corresponding actuation port. The actuating members are disposed in the corresponding actuator cavities and are movable within the actuator cavities in response to fluid pressurization of the single supply port and movement of the corresponding pilot valve to an open position.

    Abstract: A fitting assembly includes a first component having a metal male threaded port including a male tapered threaded portion and an end face and a second component having a metal female threaded port including a female tapered threaded portion and a counterbore, the female threaded port threadably receiving the male threaded port. An apertured metal insert is disposed between the end face and the counterbore and includes first and second seal surfaces. When the first component is tightened with the second component, the metal insert is engaged between the end face and the counterbore, such that the first seal surface seals against the end face and the second seal surface seals against the counterbore, to provide a metal-to-metal seal between the male threaded port and the female threaded port.

    Abstract: A hose assembly includes an inner core tube, a metal outer tube, a first coupling member, and a first collar. The first coupling member has an inboard nose portion extending into a first end of the inner core tube. The metal outer tube surrounds the inner core tube and terminates at a first end axially inward of the first end of the inner core tube, with an outer cavity disposed between the inner core tube and the metal outer tube. The first collar has an outboard clamping portion surrounding the nose portion for clamping retention of the first end of the inner core tube therebetween, and an inboard venting portion welded to the first end of the metal outer tube, with the inboard venting portion including a venting port in fluid communication with the outer cavity.

    Abstract: A hose assembly includes a hose, a connector body, and a collar. The connector body has an outer end portion defining a fluid connector, an inner end defining a nose portion received in an inner bore of the hose end portion, and an intermediate portion including first and second annular flanges spaced apart to define a dog lock groove. The collar includes an outer end portion defining an inner radial dog lock received in the dog lock groove, an annular step portion extending radially outward of and axially inward of the dog lock in axial alignment with the first annular flange, and an inner end portion extending radially outward of and axially inward from the step portion, the inner end portion being in radial compression against an outer surface of the hose end portion.

    Abstract: An actuated valve assembly includes a valve body (110) having a valve seat (112) disposed between inlet (111) and outlet (113) passages, and a fixed orifice (115) restriction provided in at least one of the inlet and outlet passages, a valve element (120) assembled with the valve body and axially movable between a closed position and an open position, and an actuator (130) assembled with the valve body and connected with the valve element for axial movement of the valve element between the closed and open positions. A ratio of the maximum seat annulus flow coefficient associated with the valve seat and valve element to an orifice flow coefficient associated with the fixed orifice restriction is between about 2:1 and about 8:1.

    Abstract: A valve includes a valve body having first and second fluid ports extending to a valve cavity, a seat carrier subassembly installed in the valve cavity and including a seat carrier body with a first annular inner wall defining a first flow aperture aligned with the first fluid port and a valve seat disposed in an annular recess surrounding the first annular inner wall, and a second annular inner wall defining a second flow aperture aligned with the second fluid port. A valve element is disposed within the valve cavity and is movable between a closed position sealing against the valve seat and an open position permitting fluid flow across the valve seat between the first and second flow apertures. An outer periphery of an orifice restriction is seated against an interior portion of one of the first annular inner wall and the second annular inner wall.
