Valve device for an acquastop system to be used in a household appliance such as a dishwasher or a laundry washing machine

Valve device (100, 100', 100") comprises a hollow body (102) having an inlet portion (104), which is hydraulically connectable to a water intake (14) to receive a water flow, and an outlet portion (106), which is hydraulically connectable, in particular by means of a supply tube (12) of an acquastop system (10) surrounded by a safety tube (18) of the acquastop system (10), to a household appliance (M) so as to deliver the water flow. The device comprises, furthermore, a valve apparatus (108), which is fixed to the hollow body (102), arranged between the inlet portion (104) and the outlet portion (106), and suited to control the passage of the water flow through said hollow body (102). The outlet portion (106) has a plurality of outlets (106a, 106b) for a water flow, each one of the outlets (106a, 106b) being able to be connected to a respective duct (12a, 12b) of the supply tube (12). The hollow body (102) defines a plurality of paths (110a, 110b for) the water, which are separate from one another, each path (110a, 110b) branching off the inlet portion (104) and leading to a corresponding outlet (16a, 16b). The valve apparatus (108) comprises a plurality of solenoid valves (108a, 108b), each solenoid valve (108a, 108b) being suited to control the passage of water through a corresponding path (110a, 110b) substantially independently of the other solenoid valves (108b, 108a).
