Abstract

A flow switch assembly which includes a valve housing (2) that includes an upper body portion (3) and a lower body portion (4) that are rotatably engaged relative to each other. The upper and lower body portions define a chamber (6). The housing includes an inlet (7) and an outlet (8) to the chamber. A valve member (5) seated in the chamber of the valve housing for movement between an open position establishing at least one passage (9) between the inlet an outlet and a closed position wherein the at least one passage between the inlet and the outlet is non-established (preferably by said valve member sealing at least one of said inlet and outlet). Means (16A, 16B) operatively associated with at least one of the upper body portion and the lower body portion, and associated with the valve member, are provided for moving the valve member between the open position and the closed position when the upper body portion of the housing is rotated relative to the lower body portion.
