        On December 21, 2012, the Company completed the sale of all of the outstanding shares of its subsidiary, Flomatic Corporation (Flomatic). The sale excluded the backflow product line of Flomatic, which was retained by the Company. Flomatic Corporation, located in Glens Falls, New York, specializes in manufacturing and selling check valves, foot valves and automatic hydraulic control valves for the well water industry. The Company acquired Flomatic as part of its acquisition of Danfoss Socla S.A.S. (Socla) in April 2011. The Company evaluated the operations of Flomatic and determined that it would not have a substantial continuing involvement in Flomatic's operations and cash flows. As a result, Flomatic's cash flows and operations were eliminated from the continuing operations of the Company and classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

        In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded an estimated reserve of $5.3 million in discontinued operations in connection with its investigation of potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) at Watts Valve (Changsha) Co., Ltd. (CWV), a former indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company in China. On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement for $3.8 million with the Securities and Exchange Commission to resolve allegations concerning potential violations of the FCPA at CWV. (see Note 14). The Company received a $1.1 million payment from a service provider related to issues concerning a former divested operation.
