Abstract
A valve housing, in particular for a level control valve and/or a rapid-action valve, is provided. The valve housing has a first housing part and a second housing part. The first housing part and the second housing part can be brought together in an assembly orientation in relation to one another in order to establish mechanical contact between the first housing part and the second housing part and can be moved out of the assembly orientation into a securing orientation in relation to one another. The first housing part and the second housing part are designed to be secured or securable to each other mechanically in the securing orientation.
Claims15
A valve housing, comprising:
- a first housing part;
- a second housing part, wherein
- the first housing part and the second housing part are configured to be brought together in a meeting alignment with respect to one another in order to establish a mechanical contact between the first housing part and the second housing part, and
- the first housing part and the second housing part are configured to be movable from the meeting alignment into a fixing alignment with respect to one another, in which the first housing part and the second housing part are mechanically fixed or fixable to one another in the fixing alignment.
A method of assembling a valve housing, the method comprising the acts of:
- providing a first housing part and a second housing part of the valve housing;
- bringing together the first housing part and the second housing part of the valve housing in a meeting alignment with respect to each other in order to establish mechanical contact between the first housing part and the second housing part;
- and
- moving the first housing part and the second housing part from the meeting alignment into a fixing alignment with respect to one another in order to mechanically fix or make fixable the first housing part and the second housing part one to the other in the fixing alignment for assembling the valve housing.
