Abstract
A valve assembly includes a first housing that defines an inlet and a fluid output chamber. A second housing is engaged to the first housing and a cover is engaged to the second housing. A valve member is positioned within the first housing. An actuator is positioned between the second housing and the cover and is attached to the valve member through an engagement located within the first housing. A flow rate sensor, as a component of the valve assembly, may be positioned downstream of the inlet and the fluid output chamber.
