Abstract
A fluid distribution valve includes a single inlet and a plurality of parallel outlets for connection to a plurality of fluid demand locations. Plural valve elements prevent large flows to the outlets in a first position of the valve while throttle by-passages around the valve elements allow small, usually equal flows to all demand locations in the first position. In a second position, the valve elements permit flow to the parallel outlets in proportion to the flow resistance at the demand locations.
