A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
One form of the apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a valve which comprises a body having an inlet port having a first geometric axis and an outlet port having a second geometric axis, the first geometric axis being disposed in coplanar relationship with the second geometric axis with an included angle therebetween of 90°. The inlet and the outlet are selectively in fluid communication or not in fluid communication therebetween. The apparatus includes a shaft carried for rotational movement with respect to the body to permit an operator to selectively to allow or not allow fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet; the shaft has a third geometric axis and the third geometric axis is congruent with the first geometric axis. The apparatus also includes a knob carried on the, shaft having a maximum radius X.
