A meter assembly is provided including a register or an index associated with a meter; and a communication circuit decoupled from the register or the index and configured to communicate with the register or the index using an optical communication link between the register or the index and the communication circuit. Related communication circuit housings are provided.

Communication circuit housing

A diaphragm for use in a diaphragm-type flush valve includes a flexible diaphragm body having a first side and a second side and an outer periphery, a center passageway defined in the diaphragm body, a bypass orifice defined in the diaphragm body, and a sealing ring attached to the outer periphery of the flexible diaphragm body. The sealing ring defines an outer circumferential surface of the diaphragm. The outer circumferential surface of the sealing ring defines a recessed area. The recessed area is configured to be positioned in a keyed relationship with a flush valve body.

Plumbing fitting

A urinal includes a urinal body having a top portion, a left sidewall, a right sidewall, and a rear wall, which define an internal cavity, and a bowl having a concave shape. The top portion includes a plenum chamber defined therein, which is configured to receive flush water and is in in fluid communication with the internal cavity of the urinal body via a plurality of baffle holes. A flow restrictor is disposed within the plenum chamber to slow a velocity of water flowing through the plenum chamber. The rear wall of the urinal body includes at least two angled portions extending laterally inward and rearward from the left and right sidewalls. The angled portions meet in a rounded corner. The at least two angled portions and the rounded corner are configured to deflect urine striking the rear wall such that the urine remains within the internal cavity.

A modular sensor activated faucet assembly provides a spout that can be coupled and removed from its mounting base quickly and easily for installation and service. A water tight connection can be established between the mounting base and the spout without the use of tools or additional mechanical connections, thus allowing the spout to be installed by simply plugging into its base. A seamless spout construction defining a hollow interior bifurcated by integral internal wall structure provides a wet chamber between its mounting end and the outlet and a flow pipe inside the spout. The modular base provides a cooperating flow pipe. When the spout is mounted onto the base, the flow pipes are configured to nest together in close relation such that one or more seals can be disposed between the flow pipes to provide a water tight seal between the spout and base.
