Patent attributes
A collection valve for use in a water reclamation system includes a drain pipe and a collection port assembly. The drain pipe includes an inlet port connectable to a drain line from which gray water is supplied, a collection inlet, and an outlet port. The collection port assembly includes a resilient cap and a collection port disposed to receive gray water flowing into the collection inlet and connectable to a gray water drain line. The resilient cap is operable to (i) close the collection inlet to permit water flow from the inlet port to the outlet port, or (ii) open the collection inlet to permit water flow from the inlet port to the collection port, whereby the resilient cap does not physically obstruct water flow within the drain pipe between he inlet port to the outlet port in either operational condition (i) or (ii).
