Patent ID: 8070132

Claim:
A fluid control device, comprising: a fluid control body ( 300 ) having a first side ( 314 ), the first side having an inlet port ( 318 ); the fluid control body ( 300 ) having a bottom side ( 304 ) where the bottom side is substantially perpendicular to the first side ( 314 ) and forms a valve cavity ( 320 ) and where the inlet port ( 318 ) is coupled to the valve cavity ( 320 ) with an inlet port opening, the fluid control body ( 300 ) having a second side ( 312 ) where the second side ( 312 ) has an outlet port ( 306 ) providing a port-to-port distance d, between the inlet port ( 318 ) and the outlet port ( 306 ) and where the outlet port ( 306 ) is coupled to the valve seat passageway ( 310 ) with an outlet port passageway ( 308 ); and a valve seat ( 318 ) formed in the valve cavity ( 320 ), the valve seat ( 318 ) having a non-circular shaped valve seat passageway ( 310 ) oriented such that a long axis of the non-circular shaped valve seat passageway ( 310 ) is substantially perpendicular to the port-to-port distance, d and where the valve seat passageway couples to the valve cavity ( 320 ).
