Claim 14:
15. A valve comprising:
a body having a first port, a second port, a third port, a flow path extending between the first, second, and third ports, and a post extending into an intersection of the flow path between the first, second, and third ports; and
a rotatable element comprising a portion having an inlet port, an outlet port, a channel extending from the inlet port to the outlet port, a side port fluidly coupled to the channel, and an axis of rotation;
wherein the portion of the rotatable element is positioned within the intersection of the flow path between the first, second, and third ports, and is displaceable with respect to the body along the axis of rotation as the rotatable element is moved between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein the post blocks the channel when the rotatable element is in the first configuration such that a fluid entering the first port flows only through the inlet port, the side port, the third port, and the outlet port to the second port.
