<p>An inline valve for a gas distribution system having a tubular valve chamber (68) for supporting a valve member (72), wherein the inlet (54) and outlet (58) are coaxial with each other and flow enters the valve chamber at a different angle than flow exits the valve chamber. The tubular design reduces raw materials and machining time. Also, the characteristic of the previous in-line design with the machined body, where the inlet and the outlet has a common centerline, is retained, and existing valve internals (e.g., proven valve member designs) can be used.</p> |
