The outer wall of the branch flow exit of the main flow passage may rise vertically from the outer wall of the main flow passage, and the side wall of the weir is located approximately on the center line of the main flow passage. The branch flow passage may be provided so that the center line thereof is located higher than the center line of the main flow passage. The valve disc may be a diaphragm.
