  • Publication number: 20070023084
    Abstract: An enclosed valve module for a fluid-distribution system comprises a first main passageway for a fluid, a plurality of first branch passageways for the fluid, and a first plurality of valves with each of the valves selectively providing communication between the first main passageway and an associated one of the plurality of first branch passageways with a housing provided about the first plurality of valves, with the housing having an opening providing access to the first plurality of valves and with the opening being selectively closed by a member arranged to releasably and sealingly engage the housing about the opening with the first main passageway and each of the plurality of first branch passageways extending from inside of the housing to outside of the housing with the housing providing a substantially air-tight enclosure for the plurality of valves when the member sealingly engages the housing about said opening.
