Abstract

This disclosure provides example methods, devices, and systems for a single and grouped pressure valve. In one embodiment, a pressure valve may include a housing having a first input port and a plurality of output ports and defining a cavity disposed therein; a flow coupler disposed in the cavity of the housing and having a passage transversely disposed therethrough, wherein the flow coupler is movable within the cavity of the housing; wherein a first alignment position of the flow coupler in the cavity of the housing allows fluid flow from the first input port of the housing through the passage of the flow coupler to all of the plurality of output ports of the housing; and wherein a second alignment position of the flow coupler in the cavity of the housing allows fluid flow from the first input port of the housing through the passage of the flow coupler to one of the plurality of output ports of the housing.
