Abstract
A plumbing fitting with a body having a flow path extending therethrough, and a receptacle disposed in the body is disclosed. The receptacle is arranged to releasably receive a mechanism is movable between a first operational position in which the flow path extends through the receptacle and the mechanism, and a second position in which the flow path bypasses the mechanism. In the second position, the mechanism can be released from the receptacle while a fluid flows through the flow path.
Claims27
A plumbing fitting comprising:
- a body having a flow path extending therethrough;
- a receptacle disposed in the body, the receptacle arranged to releasably receive a mechanism;
- wherein the receptacle is movable between a first, operational, position in which the flow path extends through the receptacle and the mechanism, and a second position in which the flow path bypasses the mechanism whereby in the second position the mechanism can be released from the receptacle whilst a fluid flows through the flow path.

A plumbing fitting comprising:
- a body having a flow path extending therethrough;
- a receptacle disposed in the body, the receptacle arranged to releasably receive a mechanism;
- wherein the receptacle is movable between a first, operational, position in which the flow path extends through the receptacle and the mechanism, and a second position in which the flow path bypasses the mechanism whereby in the second position the mechanism can be released from the receptacle whilst a fluid flows through the flow path;
- wherein in the second position the flow path through the body is directed around the receptacle;
- or the receptacle comprises two or more secondary apertures provided at respective ends of a bypass path which extends through the receptacle and is isolated from the mechanism.
A plumbing fitting comprising:
- a body having a flow path extending therethrough;
- a receptacle disposed in the body, the receptacle arranged to releasably receive a mechanism;
- wherein the receptacle is movable between a first, operational, position in which the flow path extends through the receptacle and the mechanism, and a second position in which the flow path bypasses the mechanism whereby in the second position the mechanism can be released from the receptacle whilst a fluid flows through the flow path wherein the receptacle is moveable between the first, operational, position and the second position using movement means comprising a slide mechanism adapted to constrain movement of the receptacle between the first, operational, position and the second position so as to prevent the receptacle from being removed or inadvertently ejected from the body.
