<p>An in-line diversion valve including a body and a plug assembled with the body. The body has an annular run extending axially from a first end opening configured to define a first port to a second end opening, and at least one annular branch extending radially from the run to a third end opening configured to define a second port of the valve. The plug extends coaxially with the body run from a first end received internally therewithin to a second end which extends externally beyond the body second end opening and which is configured to define a third port aligned coaxially with the first port. The plug is rotatable within the body and is formed as having a first passageway extending through the first and second ends thereof, and at least one perpendicular second passageway. The first passageway defines with the first and the third port a first fluid flow path, with the second passageway communicating with the first passageway in defining with the first fluid flow path and the second port a second fluid flow path. The second end of the plug is hand-accessible for the rotation of the plug between a first angular position wherein the second passageway is aligned coaxially with the body branch to open the second fluid flow path, and a second angular position wherein the second passageway is angularly displaced relative to the branch to close the second fluid flow path.</p> |
