A mix manifold (16) includes a plurality of valves to control the flow of material therethrough. First and second valves (36a, 36b) are linked for simultaneous actuation. The first and second valves each include valve members (56a, 56b) disposed within and rotatable relative to seal bodies (58a, 58b). The valve members seal against the seal bodies and the seal bodies seal against the manifold. A solvent valve (36c) also includes a valve member (56c) in a seal body (58c). The first and second valves are configured to open only when the solvent valve is closed. The solvent valve is configured to open only when the first and second valves are closed. The solvent valve can rotate between a plurality of positions to control the flow of solvent to flowpaths downstream of the first and second valves.

A connector assembly includes a first and a second component. Each of the components including a connector body, a valve, a handle, a handle lock, and a connector lock. The handles open and close respective valves. Each of the handles has locked and unlocked positions. The handle locks prevent or inhibit the respective handles from being moved between open and closed positions. The handle locks in unlocked positions enable the respective handles to be moved between open and closed positions. The first and second components are configured to be releasably assembled with each other. The connector locks in their respective closed positions assist in preventing or inhibiting the disassembling of the first and second components.

A switching valve includes a base having a bottom wall. The switching valve includes a body that couples to the base to define a cavity between the body and the bottom wall. The body includes through holes that are each fluidly coupled to the cavity. The switching valve includes a driven slider set disposed within the cavity and having sub-sliders evenly distributed about the base. The switching valve includes driving rods each movably coupled to one of the through holes of the body. Each driving rod moves in a linear direction relative to the through holes to block or unblock each through hole. Each sub-slider slides in a linear direction responsive to movement of the driving rods. Only one through hole is unblocked at one time.

Device for supplying pressurized fluid, including a first valve accommodating an internal fluid circuit, the device having a second valve having an internal circuit, the second valve forming a separate physical entity from the first valve, the first valve and the second valve having respective coupling members that form a male/female quick-connection system for removably connecting the second valve to the first valve, the internal circuits including a set of control valves for allowing or preventing the flow of the fluid towards an outlet of the device when the second valve is coupled to the first valve via the quick-connection system.
