Abstract
A valve body has second output ports defined in an upper surface thereof. To the second output ports there are selectively and detachably attached quick-connect-and-disconnect pipe couplings or a pipe adapter which provides communication between the second output ports and front output ports through output passages. When the quick-connect-and-disconnect pipe couplings are attached, output pipes can be connected to the valve body from its upper side through the quick-connect-and-disconnect pipe couplings. When the pipe adapter is attached, output pipes can be connected to the valve body from its front side through quick-connect-and-disconnect pipe couplings connected to the front output ports.
