Abstract
The invention relates to a valve () for regulating a gas flow in an EGR loop of a gas supply circuit of a vehicle engine, including a gas inlet (), a first gas outlet () for directly feeding the gases into the supply circuit, and a second gas outlet () enabling said gases to flow into a pipe () passing through a cooler () before injecting said gases into said supply circuit, said valve () having a rotatable flap () capable of pivoting between a first position in which same blocks the second outlet () while at the same time opening the first outlet (), and a second position in which same blocks the first outlet () while at the same time opening the second outlet (). The main feature of a valve according to the invention is that the flap () includes a main flat body () capable of opening or closing the pipe () and that said pipe () has a flat rim (), whereby the main body () of the flap () bears flatly against said rim () when said flap () is in the second position thereof.
