ABSTRACT:
A high volume rotary selector valve having a modular structure is disclosed. The disclosed device operates to select one of a plurality of individual source lines of pressurized oil, gas, or other matter to divert the contents of the selected line to a predetermined destination for metering, testing, or sampling without interrupting the flow from other source lines. The modular design permits a large number of input lines to be attached to the valve without a corresponding increase in the valve's diameter or material thickness. Additionally, the modular design affords the user the ability to upgrade an existing selector valve system to increase the number of inlet ports, change the size of the inlet or outlet ports, or change the inlet or outlet port connector types.
