The separating valve is intended for discharging the liquid phase of a two-phase fluid. It comprises a seating and a valve member, the latter being actuated to open by a float at the end of a first arm of a lever, whose other arm comprises a cam which engages in a neck of the shank of the valve member. The seating comprises a port at the center of a flat face from which projects a sleeve for guiding the shank of the valve member. Directed towards the flat face, the valve member comprises a flat plate from which there projects a truncated conical valve needle. Between seating and valve member there is defined an annular space communicating by three passageways with the chamber for receiving the liquid phase: one passageway which is an extension of a slot where the lever arm fits, and two passageways along a diameter perpendicular to the slot and tangential to the flat face. The guidance of the valve member and the disposition of the passageways guarantee precise and reproducible location of the valve member on the seating, in order to reduce losses to a minimum.
