Under § 4 of the Clayton Act, a manufacturer of gas heaters brought a suit for treble damages against a trade association and ten of its members which are pipeline companies, gas distributors and manufacturers of gas burners, claiming that the defendants had combined and conspired to restrain interstate commerce in the manufacture and sale of gas burners in violation of § 1 of the Sherman Act. It alleged that: the association tests burners and issues a seal of approval for those which pass its tests; such tests are not objective, but are influenced by some of the defendants which are in competition with plaintiff; the association has improperly refused to approve plaintiff's gas burners; two of the defendants which are gas distributors refuse to provide gas for use in plaintiff's burners; and plaintiff's gas burners have thus been effectively excluded from the market.

A Pressure Reducing Valve, or commonly a PRV, is a device placed inline from your water source (tap or pump) to reduce or regulate the pressure of the running water. This is to protect lower density pipework (LDPE only has a maximum pressure rating of 300kPa) and provide consistency to drip line emitters and sprinkler or spray heads.
