<p>VALVE WITH BACKFLOW PREVENTER A valve with a backflow preventer has a valve housing with a fluid inlet, a main flow channel, and a fluid outlet formed therein. A valve element is provided in the valve housing to selectively actuate the valve. The valve element is rotatable between an open position in which a fluid flow path exists between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet along the main flow channel and a closed position in which no fluid flow path exists between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet. A chamber is formed in the valve housing in a position which is offset from the main flow channel. The chamber has an opening in fluid communication with the atmosphere, and a ball is provided in the interior of the chamber. The ball is movable between a first position in which the ball prevents fluid backflow from the fluid outlet to the fluid inlet and a second position in which the ball substantially blocks the opening in the chamber.</p> |
