Hydraulic torrent control valve

An indicator mechanism, comprising:

• a position indicator that is dry;
• and
• a mechanism that is wet, the mechanism including (a) a bracket moving in response to movement of a measured element and (b) a rotor that turns the position indicator, wherein the bracket converts a reciprocating movement of the bracket to a rotational movement of the rotor.

An assembly for an indicator, comprising:

• a bracket having a sliding guide, the bracket capable of being positioned between a diaphragm position indicator and a plug;
• and
• a helical rotor capable of being positioned so that a top portion of the helical rotor is associated with the diaphragm position indicator and so that movement of the plug rotates the helical rotor.

A snap seat for supporting a plug of a diaphragm and plug unit of a valve, comprising:

• a flat annular seat portion;
• and
• a grip skirt portion integrally joined to the seat portion at an acute angle, the grip skirt portion having a plurality of slots that divide the grip skirt portion into sections so that the snap seat snaps into place when the grip skirt portion is pressed against a body undercut of the valve.

A cover for a control valve, the valve having valve control equipment situated above the valve, the cover comprising:

• a valve cover having an internal control passage in communication with a base of the valve, the passage sufficient to house valve control tubing and operatively engaged to the valve at a control boss on a body of the valve, the valve cover removable from a body of the valve without disconnecting the control equipment.

A hydraulic control valve having a first drain hub for draining an upstream side of the valve and a second drain hub for draining a downstream side of the valve, the first and second drain hubs having an elbow shape allowing the first and second drain hubs to swivel, the first drain hub and the second drain hub capable of being connected to one another at a 3-way valve whereby in a first position the upstream side drains, in a second position the downstream side drains and in a third position neither side drains.
