ABSTRACT:
In a sanitary valve with a tilting adjusting lever, which moves the closure member, the two wedge-shaped areas, which open and close in opposite directions on opposite sides of the adjusting lever, as it tilts, are used for locating a damping device, which retards the closing movement of the closure member in order to avoid water hammering. For this purpose, a liquid-filled chamber of variable volume is located in each of the two wedge-shaped areas; the two chambers are connected to each other by a restrictor channel. The damping device located in this way, which can be enclosed hermetically, necessitates no alterations to the valve itself.
