Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a valve construction. One embodiment comprises a first valve and a second valve. A first fluid conveying conduit fluidly conveying a first fluid is fluidly connected with the first valve. A second fluid conveying conduit fluidly conveying a second fluid is fluidly connected with the second valve. A third fluid conveying conduit is fluidly connected with the first valve and the second valve. The first valve is movable between a first position where first fluid flows between the first fluid conveying conduit and the third fluid conveying conduit, and a second position where first fluid does not flow between the first fluid conveying conduit and the third fluid conveying conduit. The second valve is movable between a first position where the second fluid flows between the second fluid conveying conduit and the third fluid conveying conduit, and a second position where the second fluid does not flow between the second fluid conveying conduit and the third fluid conveying conduit.
