Abstract

The water separator of the present invention has water inlets arranged onto a side wall, and a through-hole placed centrally at top of the body for insertion of brake valve rod. The coupling swing base is installed at bottom of the brake valve rod. The bottom of the coupling swing base is mated with the rotational valve plate, and the rotational valve plate is fitted with a through-groove that can align with any water outlet on the stationary valve plate and foundation. Flexible snappers are arranged at intervals around the coupling swing base, such that snapping portions are placed at intervals onto the wall of upper space in the body. When the coupling swing base is rotated to a preset angle under the drive of brake valve rod, the positioning effect could be achieved through the mating of flexible snapper and snapping portion.
