Diverter valve

摘要

An improved slide plate diverter valve having a manifold block and a backing plate with a linearly reciprocable slide plate sandwiched and clamped therebetween is provided with side rails between the manifold block and backing plate along opposite lengthwise sides of the slide plate secured by dowel pins to each thereof to rigidify the manifold block and backing plate against relative movement, eliminating any tendency of the backing plate to move relative to the manifold block in response to sliding actuation of the slide plate.
