Abstract:
A directional flow control device includes a housing extending along a longitudinal axis between an inlet end and a discharge end. A flow deflector is received in the housing. The flow deflector is rotatable in the housing about a rotation axis parallel to the longitudinal axis. The flow deflector has a flow channel therethrough having an intake bore at a front end of the flow deflector and a discharge bore at a rear end of the flow deflector. The intake bore is coaxial with the rotation axis and the discharge bore is offset from the rotation axis.

Claim (Index 28):
The method of  claim 25 , wherein said positioning the flow deflector between the front housing and the rear housing comprises positioning the flow deflector such that the intake bore extends along an intake bore axis parallel to the rotation axis and the discharge bore extends along a discharge bore axis angled relative to the intake bore axis by a fluid path change angle of between 0\u00b0 and 45\u00b0.
