Shut-off and regulator device for controllable mechanisms intended for installation in pipelines

A valved tee fitting to be mounted in a fluid line comprising, in combination, a housing having an open unobstructed primary cylindrical flow passage defined therein, means defined on said housing for attaching said housing in a fluid line wherein said flow passage is coaxial with the fluid line, said passage being defined by an annular guiding bushing axially fixed within said housing having a central region, end regions, an inner cylindrical surface and an outer cylindrical surface, said inner cylindrical surface defining the minimum diameter of said flow passage, a lateral flow passage defined in said housing transversely disposed to said primary flow passage, means defined on said housing for attaching a lateral fluid line to said housing in communication with said lateral flow passage, at least one first port defined in said bushing central region selectively communicating with and in radial alignment with said lateral flow passsage, an annular chamber defined in said housing in radial alignment with said bushing having an inner cylindrical surface defined by said bushing outer surface, an annular spool sleeve axially defined by ends and defining a shut-off element axially slidably received within said chamber for movement between first and second axial positions and sealed with respect to said bushing outer surface, at least one second radial port defined in said spool radially aligning with said first port at said sleeve first position, said sleeve sealing said first port at said sleeve second position, control pressure medium ports defined on the exterior of said housing communicating with said chamber at each end of said sleeve and selectively communicating with a controlled source of fluid pressure whereby said sleeve comprises a piston selectively movable between said first and second positions by a controlled pressurized medium, sealing means on said sleeve sealing said chamber and said control pressure ports from communication with said housing flow passage, said lateral flow passage defined in said housing communicating with said second port upon alignment of said first and second ports permitting fluid flow through said housing from said primary flow passage through said lateral flow passage.
