Abstract
A flow control valve is provided with a spring which is compressed in the direction of closure of the valve which opens and closes the valve housing, a protruded part which projects towards the valve drive side into the indented part provided on the upper surface of the bracket mounted on the valve drive housing, a protective member projecting from the valve drive housing towards the bracket, and an aperture formed in the bracket so as to communicate the lower face of the bracket with the outside. As a result, a reduction in the adverse effects of heat from the valve housing and in the entry of foreign objects from outside is achieved.
