Abstract: A valve arrangement including a distributor housing (2) with a distributor duct (4), an inlet duct (46) which leads into the distributor duct (4), at least two outlet ducts (11, 12, 13) which lead out of the distributor duct (4), and a value associated with eac;h outlet duct. The values are integrated into the distributor housing (2) and have regulating flaps (31, 32, 33) whose axes of rotation (37, 38, 39) are arranged such that the flaps are situated partially in the distributor duct (4) and partially in the associated outlet duct (11, 12, 13). This construction reduces the overall size of the valve arrangement and eliminates dead spaces in which medium flowing through the valve arrangement could become trapped.
