Zusammenfassung: | A valve assembly includes a housing having first and second body portions cooperating to enclose a cavity. The first body portion includes a cap having a nozzle that extends from the cap, and the nozzle defines an outlet. The first body portion includes a seat defining an orifice in fluid communication with the outlet and the cavity. A float is disposed inside the cavity. A seal is spaced from the seat when the float is in the initial position and the seal engages the seat when the float is in the displaced position. In certain configurations, the cap, the nozzle, and the seat are formed together as one piece. In certain configurations, a second side wall surrounds the float and extends across the window to obstruct direct fluid communication between the window and the float. A gap is unobstructed between a first side wall and the second side wall. |
