The invention relates to a 3-port valve for passing fluids therethrough, having a valve body, a port, a first sub-port and a second sub-port, with the port being adjoined by a main line which ends in a connecting region, said first sub-port having a first sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, said second sub-port having a second sub-port line that is connected to the connecting region, with at least one valve member being arranged in the connecting region, which valve member can be displaced along a valve member axis between an opening position and a closed position thereof in the connecting region, so that, in a first valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the first sub-port, in a second valve position, the port is fluidically connected to the second sub-port, in a third valve position, the port is fluidically connected to both the first and second sub-ports, in a fourth valve position, the port is fluidically connected neither to the first sub-port nor to the second sub-port. The invention is characterized in that the valve body is formed from a high-tempered steel, or other suitable material, with the valve body being produced from a solid ingot and with the connecting region, the main port, the first sub-port line and the second sub-port line having been machined into the steel ingot. Heat transfer medium lines for passing a HTM therethrough are also machined into the same valve body to regulate the temperature of the fluid. Simultaneously or alternatively, electric heating cartridge receptacles may be machined into the valve body ingot.

The present disclosure provides an adjustable pipeline valve for changing and/or switching the discharge water flow path. The pipeline valve includes: a valve body; an inlet in communication with the valve body; and at least one outlet in communication with the valve body. The pipeline valve further includes: a water stopping member located within a chamber of the valve body and preventing direct communication between the inlet and the at least one outlet; a plugging assembly located in at least one receiving hole in a part of the valve body, the at least one receiving hole being in one-to-one correspondence with at least one water passing hole in the water stopping member; and a switching assembly 17 configured to allow the plugging assembly to block a corresponding water passing hole by a rotation of the switching assembly 17 to switch the communication between the inlet and the at least one outlet.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes: a cabinet forming a treatment space for storing clothes; a filter module having a filter portion for filtering out dust from air passing therethrough; an air flow path having a plurality of preset flow paths for directing air to be discharged into the treatment space; a fan for moving the air in the air flow path; at least one valve disposed on the air flow path; a valve actuating module for actuating the valve; and a control part for controlling the valve actuating module so as to select one of the plurality of flow paths. The plurality of flow paths include: at least one bypass flow path for directing the air to bypass the filter portion; and at least one filtering flow path for directing the air to pass through the filter portion.

An embodiment of a fire-suppression water-intake valve includes a receptacle and a valve assembly. The receptacle is configured to receive a sprinkler head. And the valve assembly is configured to close in response to removing a sprinkler head from the receptacle, and is configured to open in response to installing a sprinkler head in the receptacle. Such a fire-suppression water-intake valve can allow quick and easy removal and installation of a fire-suppression sprinkler head without shutting a water supply to the valve.
