Abstract:
A housing for an integrated pressure management apparatus, the housing comprising:an integral homogenous primary body partially defining an interior chamber; first and second ports communicating with the interior chamber; a component opening facilitating installation of a pressure operable device into the interior chamber, the pressure operable device separating the interior chamber into a first portion and a second portion, the first portion communicating with the first port, the second portion communicating with the second port, the pressure operable device permitting fluid communication between the first and second ports in a first configuration and preventing fluid communication between the first and second ports in a second configuration, the component opening also facilitating installation of a solenoid into the interior chamber, the solenoid displacing the device from the first configuration to the second configuration, the solenoid including a stator extending transversely with respect to a displacement direction of the pressure operable device between the first and second configurations; and a secondary body attachable to the primary body and occluding the component installation opening.
