Abstract
A method for forming a monolithic bypass includes pouring a molten metal into a monolithic bypass mold cavity of a mold, the monolithic bypass mold cavity shaped complimentary to a shape of the monolithic bypass; forming the monolithic bypass, the monolithic bypass comprising a bypass valve body disposed between an upstream conduit and a downstream conduit, an inlet opening defined by the upstream conduit, an outlet opening defined by the downstream conduit, a bypass bore extending through the upstream conduit, the bypass valve body, and the downstream conduit from the inlet opening to the outlet opening, the inlet opening and the outlet opening configured to attach to a primary valve body, the monolithic bypass defining a U-shape, the monolithic bypass and the bypass bore each being seamless; and removing the monolithic bypass from the mold.
