Abstract
A valve and valve operating method are provided herein. The valve includes a rotatable cartridge that includes a pivot and a first wall that intersects and demarcates a first chamber and a second chamber and a housing. The housing includes a body that at least partially encloses the rotatable cartridge and includes at least four ports and a cap removably coupled to the housing and sealing the first chamber and the second chamber, where rotation of the rotatable cartridge about the pivot creates multiple flow paths between the at least four ports.
