Abstract

A customized tool for use in release pressure and liquid from a valve, the customized tool comprising a body component including a conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end operating as an inlet having a size of a first diameter, an arm component including a conduit and a threaded outlet port, the conduit of the arm component forming an angled pathway with the conduit of the body component, a limit rod that threadably couples with the second end of the body component, at least a portion of the limit rod being threaded, a fastener that threadably couples to the limit rod and is used to limit a movement of the limit rod, and a limit rod stopper to threadably receive the limit rod and abut the limit rod stopper to restrict the movement of the limit rod is shown.

Claims

1. A customized tool for use in release of pressure or liquid from a valve, the customized tool comprising:

a body component including a first conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end operating as an inlet having a size of a first diameter;

an arm component including a second conduit and a threaded outlet port, the second conduit of the arm component forming an angled pathway with the first conduit of the body component, the second conduit configured to release liquid or gas;

a limit rod that threadably couples with the second end of the body component, at least a portion of the limit rod being threaded;

a limit rod stopper to threadably receive the limit rod, the limit rod stopper being distinct from both the body component and the limit rod; and

a fastener that is proximal the limit rod stopper relative to the second end of the body component and configured to traverse the portion of the limit rod, the fastener to threadably couple to the limit rod and to limit a movement of the limit rod when the fastener abuts the limit rod stopper.

2. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the first end of the first conduit of the body component is tapered.

3. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the first end of the first conduit of the body component is not tapered.

4. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the body component, the arm component and the limit rod stopper are integrally formed.

5. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the body component, the arm component and the limit rod stopper are formed from galvanized steel.

6. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the body component, the arm component and the limit rod stopper are formed from a hardened polymer.

7. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein the limit rod stopper has a nut configuration with a threaded opening having a size of a second diameter, the second diameter being less than the first diameter of the first end of the first conduit of the body component.

8. The customized tool of claim 1, wherein a reducing bushing is coupled to an inlet port of the customized tool to adapt a size of the inlet port to a size of an outlet port of the valve.

9. A customized tool for use in release of pressure and liquid from a valve, the customized tool comprising:

a body component including a first conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end operating as an inlet having a size of a first diameter;

an arm component including a second conduit configured to release liquid or gas that entered the first conduit of the body component;

a limit rod that threadably couples with the second end of the body component, at least a portion of the limit rod being threaded, wherein the limit rod moves in a first direction to engage an orifice plug of the valve;

a limit rod stopper to receive the limit rod, the limit rod stopper being distinct from the body component; and

a fastener that is proximal the limit rod stopper and configured to traverse the portion of the limit rod to limit a movement of the limit rod based on a position of the fastener relative to the limit rod stopper.

10. The customized tool of claim 9, wherein an engagement of the limit rod and the orifice plug creates an opening through which the liquid may flow into the first conduit of the body component.

11. The customized tool of claim 10, wherein the engagement between the limit rod and the orifice plug causes the orifice plug to compress to a first position such that the liquid flows at a first flow rate from the valve into the first conduit of the body component.

12. The customized tool of claim 11, wherein the limit rod engages the orifice plug causing the orifice plug to compress to a second position such that the liquid flows at a second flow rate from the valve into the first conduit of the body component, the second flow rate being greater than the first flow rate.

13. The customized tool of claim 9, wherein the limit rod stopper has a nut configuration with a threaded opening having a size of a second diameter, the second diameter being less than the first diameter of the first end of the first conduit of the body component.

14. The customized tool of claim 9, wherein the first conduit of the body component includes a baffle to direct liquid through the second conduit of the arm component, the arm component fluidly coupled to the body component.

15. A method of using a customized tool, the method comprising:

providing the customized tool, the customized tool including;

a body component including a first conduit having a first end and a second end, the first end operating as an inlet having a size of a first diameter,

an arm component including a second conduit and a threaded outlet port, the second conduit of the arm component forming an angled pathway with the first conduit of the body component,

a limit rod that threadably couples with the second end of the body component, at least a portion of the limit rod being threaded,

a limit rod stopper to threadably receive the limit rod, the limit rod stopper being distinct from the body component,

a fastener that is proximal the limit rod stopper and configured to traverse a portion of the limit rod, the fastener threadably couples to the limit rod and is used to limit a movement of the limit rod, and

attaching the customized tool to a valve by threadably coupling an outlet port of the valve with the first end of the body component.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

rotating the limit rod in a first direction thereby advancing the limit rod toward the valve to engage an orifice plug of the valve, compressing the orifice plug to a first position such that liquid flows at a first flow rate from the valve into the first conduit of the body component.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the limit rod engages the orifice plug causing the orifice plug to compress to a second position such that the liquid flows at a second flow rate from the valve into the first conduit of the body component, the second flow rate being greater than the first flow rate.

18. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

rotating the limit rod in a second direction thereby advancing the limit rod opposite the valve to disengage an orifice plug of the valve.
