The first pipe fitting 2 has a first port 21 and a second port 22. The first port 21 communicates with the inlet passage 11, and the second port 22 communicates with the outlet passage 12. The manufacturing precision of the pipe fitting is relatively high. By using the first pipe fitting 2 as the flow passage with a small opening degree of the valve, the precision of the small opening degree of the valve is improved.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , the inlet passage 11 is located in the valve body 15. The inlet passage 11 extends radially in the valve body 15. The outlet passage 12 is located in the valve body 15. The outlet passage 12 extends axially in the valve body 15.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , the valve seat 1 has a receiving cavity 14. The receiving cavity 14 can communicate the inlet passage 11 with the outlet passage 12. The first port 21 is located in the receiving cavity 14. In the direction of the center line of the outlet passage 12, at least part of the second port 22 coincides with the outlet passage 12.
