ABSTRACT:
A valve preferably used for selectively diverting the flow of air entrained particulate material, such as cereal grains from an inlet into a selected one of a plurality of outlets. The valve has a back plate which has a plurality of outlet openings and a gate plate which has a single inlet opening. The gate plate is pivotally mounted on the back plate so that it is selectively movable to a plurality of positions wherein in each position the inlet opening is aligned with one of the outlet openings. One end of a length of flexible inlet pipe is connected to the inlet opening to permit the gate plate to pivot to each of its respective positions on the back plate while the other end of the pipe remains stationary. The gate plate and back plate are so formed to seal around the inlet and outlet openings when aligned for material flow and the plates are urged against each other to prevent leakage of material at the valve.
