Abstract

See full text

A water distribution valve, ideally suited for distributing water from a recirculating pump of a swimming pool to selective outlet lines, is designed with a main housing in the form of an outer cylindrical section. This main housing has outlet ports located through the peripheral surface thereof at equal angular spaced intervals. These outlet openings are located in a plane which is perpendicular to the central axis of the main housing. A fluid distribution member, in the form of a T-shaped body, is rotatably mounted inside the main housing member. The base or stem of the T is connected with a water inlet; and one arm of the T has a fluid delivery opening in it for delivering water from the inlet through the opening. The fluid delivery opening in the arm is designed for mating alignment with a selected one of the outlet openings in the main housing; so that when the T is rotated into alignment with one of these openings, water is delivered from a pump, through the inlet, to the fluid delivery opening and from there, through the selected fluid outlet opening in the main housing.
