Abstract
A valve assembly for a fluid system is disclosed. The valve assembly includes a housing having a base portion and a stem portion. A valve core is disposed in a cavity formed in the stem portion. The valve core is in fluid communication with a port formed in a component of the fluid system through passageways and the cavity of the base portion. The valve assembly further includes a valve disposed in a cavity formed in the base portion. The valve is configured to selectively permit a flow of fluid through at least one of the passageways, and thereby the valve assembly. The valve is configured to provide hermetic sealing to selectively isolate the valve core from the component of the fluid system.
Claims20
A valve assembly for a fluid system, comprising:
- a housing having a base portion and a stem portion, the base portion including an aperture extending longitudinally therethrough and configured to receive a component of the fluid system having a fluid flowing therethrough, wherein the housing includes at least one passageway in fluid communication with a port provided in the component of the fluid system;
- a valve core disposed in the stem portion to selectively permit a flow of the fluid of the fluid system therethrough;
- and
- a valve disposed in the base portion to selectively permit the flow of the fluid of the fluid system through the at least one passageway,
- wherein, when the valve militates against the flow of the fluid from the fluid system through the valve assembly, the valve core is in a closed position to provide a double seal,
- wherein, when the valve permits the flow of the fluid from the fluid system into the valve assembly, the valve core is in an open position, and
- wherein the valve is accessible from outside the housing regardless of the position of the valve core.
