Abstract
The present invention is a novel backflow meter “Seatdriver” apparatus which is much like a screwdriver. Its novel direct connection of the “Seat Head” slot, “Driver Shaft” and the “Driver Handle” work together creating one apparatus known as the “Seatdriver” allowing for easy installation and removal of backflow valve seats. This apparatus functions as a two in one device providing a check valve seat connector on one end and a relief valve seat connector on the other end. The “Seatdriver” channels on the handle matches the seat part profile which reduces the “Camming Out” effect which in turn increases the hand torque force, increases thread alignments, and holds the valve part in place during the replacement.
Claims4
A seatdriver apparatus for a check valve seat having four first size check valve tooth protrusion head slots and a relief valve seat having four second size relief valve tooth protrusion head slots, the apparatus comprising:
- a handle including a grip length extending from a check valve end to a relief valve end;
- the check valve end including four first size channel parallel grooves sized to mate with the first size check valve tooth protrusion head slots;
- the relief valve end including four second size channel parallel grooves sized to mate with the second size relief valve tooth protrusion head slots;
- and
- the four first size channel parallel grooves extending along the grip length, wherein the grip length provides storage for one or more check valve seats.
A seatdriver apparatus for a check valve seat having an internal check valve profile and a relief valve seat having an internal relief valve profile, the internal check valve profile larger than the internal relief valve profile, the apparatus comprising:
- a handle including a grip length extending from a check valve end to a relief valve end;
- the check valve end including a check driving parallel profiled sized to mate with the internal check valve profile;
- the relief valve end including a relief driving parallel profile sized to mate with the internal relief valve profile;
- wherein at least one check valve seat is releasably secured to the check valve end and at least one relief valve seat is releasably secured to the relief valve end, and wherein the grip length provides storage for one or more check valve seats.
