Abstract
A valve has a housing formed with a central chamber centered on and extending along a main axis, an inlet passage and an outlet passage having mouths in the chamber spaced angularly from and confronting each other, and a secondary passage offset from the inlet and outlet passages and centered on an axis offset from a center of one of the mouths by more than 90°. A valve pin fitted in the chamber is formed with a secantally throughgoing flow passage centered on a flow-passage axis generally parallel to but offset from a diameter of the pin. A filter is provided in the flow passage, the secondary passage being sufficiently large that, when the pin is pivoted to align the flow passage with the secondary passage, the filter can be removed from the flow passage through the secondary passage.
