Abstract
A combined control and regulating valve (1) having a housing (2) with an inlet (3) and an outlet (4) as well as a partition (5) between said inlet and outlet and having a seat (6) designed for an interaction with a main valve body (7), which is adjustable from outside. Said inlet and said outlet are connected to one measuring nipple each (31-39 and 41-49 respectively) for the measurement and the control of temperature and/or pressure. One of the measuring nipples (41-49) is designed as a multiple function nipple (50) having a cutt-off-function designed to interact with a seat (53) in a passage (40), which receives said nipple. In a housing neck (55), which encloses said nipple, are access openings (56) disposed, through which e.g. water can be discharged or filled, when said nipple is in its outer screwing position. Said neck is enclosed by a completely closed casing (57) or a casing (57') having a connection (60), which casing is retained by means of a nut (66) screwable on said neck, said nut having an opening (67), through which the outer end of said measuring nipple projects, at which end the nipple is provided with an inner insertion and control opening (38) as well as a cover…
