Abstract
A valve for a branching and/or connecting location of a piggable line for coating material such as paint includes a valve housing for a first throughgoing line, to which at least one second line is selectively connectable, as well as a valve closure body that is spring loaded by a valve spring and that is movable against the force of the valve spring. The valve housing and the valve closure body respectively have flushly aligned bores that have the same contour and the same diameter as each other, and that are directly adjoining each other in the closed position. This diameter is equal to the clear inner diameter of the piggable line. For opening and closing the second line, the valve closure body is movable in the valve housing in the axial direction of the bore thereof.

A valve for a branching and/or connecting location of a piggable line for a coating material comprising:
- a valve housing for a first throughgoing piggable line to which at least one second line is selectively connectable,
- a valve spring, and
- a valve closure body that is biased by the valve spring and is movable against the force of the valve spring,
- wherein the valve housing and the valve closure body respectively comprise bores that are respectively aligned flushly with each other, have the same contour and the same diameter as each other, and are directly adjoining each other in a closed position,
- wherein the diameter of the bores is equal to a clear inner diameter of the piggable line, and
- wherein the valve closure body is movable in the valve housing in an axial direction of the bore of the valve housing for opening and closing the second line.
