Valve assembly for a fluid system

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.
