Abstract
Dual path control fittings have a fitting body and a cylindrical plunger. The fitting body has a cylindrical bore, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The cylindrical bore provides a first inlet and an opening. The first conduit provides a second inlet. The second conduit provides an outlet. The cylindrical plunger is mounted for reciprocation in the bore and has a first conduit and a second conduit. The first conduit extends from one end of the plunger to a port on the circumference of the plunger. The second conduit extends transversely across the plunger. The plunger has a first position in which the port is aligned with the second fitting body conduit to provide a first path and a second position in which the plunger second conduit is aligned with the fitting body first and second conduits to provide a second path.
