ABSTRACT:
A valve body has a hollow rigid housing formed with at least two outwardly open sockets centered on respective axes that extend generally perpendicularly of each other and a connector body fitted in one of the sockets at an intersection of the axes and having an outer face directed outwardly in the one socket and an inner face directed outward in the other socket. The connector body is also formed with a plurality of passages extending between the faces. A valve cartridge is secured to the connector-body outer face. In addition an insert body fitted in the other socket has an inner face engaging complementarily with the connector-body inner face and is formed with passages having inner ends opening into the connector-body passages at the connector-body inner face and outer ends. One of the inner faces is formed as a recess and the other as a complementary projection such that when fitted together the connector body is fixed in the housing. Input lines are connected to the outer ends of the insert-body passages and a mounting element extends into the insert body for securing the bodies and housing to a plate.
