Abstract
A cooling-water control valve as a valve device includes a housing and a valve member. The housing has an inlet port and multiple outlet ports, each of which connects an inner space of the housing to an outside. The valve member is rotatably provided in the inner space of the housing and connects the inlet port to the multiple outlet ports or disconnects the inlet port from the outlet ports depending on a rotational position of the valve member. The inlet port is communicated to the inner space of the housing independently of the rotational position of the valve member. At least a part of one outlet port overlaps with one or more than one of the other outlet ports, when viewed them in an axial direction of the valve member.
