Claims8
A valve for use in a flow management system comprising:
- a valve body with a spill port between valve ends;
- a shuttle located in a chamber of the valve body;
- the shuttle having a through hole extending linearly between a shuttle closure end and a shuttle spring end;
- a first seat located in the through hole and a first seat closure which closes against the first seat when the first seat closure moves toward the shuttle spring end;
- a second seat located above the spill port at the interior of the valve body;
- a second seat closure located on the shuttle closure end;
- a spring located to one side of the spill port;
- the spring between the shuttle spring end and a valve inlet;
- the valve operable to pass a flow entering the through hole at the shuttle spring end and to spill a flow that closes the first seat closure;
- the spring urges the shuttle to block the spill port;
- a shuttle perimeter for sealing against a valve body interior and for forming a movable seal;
- and,
- a cage limiting the motion of the first seat closure, the cage including a stabilizer preventing the first seat closure from blocking flow entering the through hole at the shuttle spring end.
