Abstract
A rigid valve block body and a method for determining fluid flow direction are disclosed. The valve block body includes a first fluid inlet and a further fluid inlet at opposed sides of a rigid valve block body. A first fluid outlet of the valve block body and a further fluid outlet of the valve block body are disposed in a spaced apart relationship. A first V-shaped fluid communication passageway comprises two passageway portions each extending within the valve block body from a first common root region proximate to the first fluid inlet. A further V-shaped fluid communication passageway comprises two further passageway portions each extending within the valve block body away from a further common root region proximate to the further fluid port. An end region of each passageway portion of the first V-shaped fluid communication passageway meets an end region of a respective passageway portion of the further V-shaped fluid communication passageway proximate to a respective fluid outlet.
