Appl. No.:

14/575352

Inventors:

- Cleveland OH, US
Vaughn Mills - Chelsea MI, US
Ronald Sexton - South Lyon MI, US

International Classification:

F02M 25/08
B60K 15/035
F16K 15/18

US Classification:

13759911

Abstract:

An angle flow valve comprises a housing and a cover. The housing comprises a first recess for receiving a flow restrictor, a second recess for receiving a relief valve, a first port fluidly connected to the first recess, an angled flow path fluidly connected to the first recess and to the second recess, a second port fluidly connected to the angled flow path, and a relief passage between the first recess and the second recess. The first recess is parallel to the second recess, permitting drop-in assembly of the flow restrictor and relief valve. The cover comprises a solenoid assembly, and the cover couples to the housing by adjoining the solenoid against the flow restrictor and by adjoining the cover against the relief valve. A single o-ring seals the leak path between the cover and the housing.
