Abstract
A valve assembly for an exhaust gas recirculation system of an engine. The valve assembly includes a three-way flow path housing defining an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet. A valve actuator is spaced apart from the three-way flow path housing and connected to the three-way flow path housing by a linkage. Actuation of the linkage by the valve actuator simultaneously opens the first outlet and closes the second outlet, and simultaneously closes the first outlet and opens the second outlet.
