Abstract: A reversing valve is provided having a generally cylindrical valve housing and a rotatable valve body positioned within at least partially within the housing, the valve body has a first fluid pathway and a second fluid pathway, each fluid pathway generally shaped as a “y” such that there are six openings into the body. A motor rotates the body to align the fluid pathways of the body with four openings in the housing in a first position and rotates the body 180 degrees to a second position aligning the fluid pathways of the body with four openings in the housing in a manner allowing reverse flow through the valve. At least one opening of each fluid pathway is blocked by the housing when the body is in either the first or second position.
