The invention relates to a sliding valve for a conduit enabling liquid, sludge or fecal matter to flow therethrough. A compressed-air operated piston cylinder arrangement is used to drive the slider in a controlled manner between an open and a closed position in order to open or close the passage. The slider (S) is guided in a housing (G) surrounding said slider. The housing (6) is provided with an opening which fully surrounds the through-opening (D). During the working movements of the slider (S), the housing is subjected to an excessive air pressure, whereby impurities are prevented from entering the housing via the through-opening (D). |
