fitting
A coupling, a valve, or a gauge that stops, regulates, or directs the flow of water in a pipe
FLA
Full-load current (amperes)
ft∙lbf
foot-pound force, a unit of work or energy transferred when applying a force of 1 pound to an object through
a distance of one foot; 1 ft∙lbf equals 1.36 N∙m or 1.36 joules; refer to
joule
gate valve
Also called a sluice valve, a knife valve, or a slide valve; designed to control the flow of liquid through a pipe
HEPA filter
High-efficiency particulate filter, a mechanical air filter that traps dust particles that are 0.3 microns in
diameter (1 micron = 1 millionth of a meter); the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
grades
HEPA
filters based on resistance to degradation from oil (
