LOW FLOW RESISTANCE SLIDE VALVE

摘要

A low restriction fluid control valve has a body (12) including a first inlet opening (36) and first and second outlet openings (38, 40). The valve body (12) has an internal cavity (24) and a rectangular slide (50) having a circular aperture (52) therein is movable in the cavity (24). Movement of the slide (50) places the outlet openings (38, 40) of the valve selectively in fluid communication with the inlet opening (36) through the circular aperture (52) of the slide with low restriction to fluid flow.
