Abstract
A valve casing of a flow regulating valve is welded to an end of a downstream section of a manifold body. Two passages are formed in the valve casing of the flow regulating valve. The valve casing accommodates a valve plate for switching at least one of the passages selectively between an open state and a closed state. A joint portion between the manifold body and the valve casing has height difference such that the portion in the vicinity of the passage corresponding to the valve plate is located at a position higher than the portion in the vicinity of the other one of the passages.
