A valve, comprising:
- a valve housing in which a primary pressure space, a secondary pressure space, and a valve hole providing communication between the spaces are formed;
- a valve seat provided in the valve housing on a secondary pressure space side with respect to the valve hole;
- a rod disposed inside the valve housing so as to be movable in an axial direction by a drive source;
- and
- a valve body that is disposed in the secondary pressure space, and that is seated on or unseated from the valve seat in accordance with a movement of the rod,
- wherein a pressure-receiving surface is provided for causing a force to act on the rod in a direction opposite to the secondary pressure space due to a pressure in the primary pressure space,
- the valve housing includes a main body portion, a lid member that is adjustable in the axial position with respect to the main body portion and that has a through hole in the axial direction, and a shaft member that is partially inserted into the through hole of the lid member such that the shaft member is rotatable with respect to the lid member, wherein the lid member and the shaft member partially define the secondary pressure space, and
- a bellows that is expandable and contractible in the axial direction is disposed across the valve body and the shaft member on an axially opposite side of the valve seat through the valve body.
