Abstract
An end member of a valve body is provided with first, second, and third passages to define an integral tee fitting. Two of the passages are generally aligned for receipt in the flow path of a main processing line. The third passage extends generally perpendicular to the first and second passages and communicates with the valve chamber. The first and second passages also include threaded regions to facilitate interconnection with the main processing line.
