Abstract:
A full-cavity slide valve has undercuts on both the input passageway and output passageway creating ramps to facilitate the O-rings around each of the input and output passageways to slide past without damaging the O-rings. An indicator can optionally be provided to ensure fully open and, if desired, fully closed positions are achieved.

Claim (Index 15):
A slide valve for controlling fluid flow comprising:\n a housing comprising:\n a cylindrical chamber having an internal radial dimension, \n an inlet passageway extending into a lateral side of said cylindrical chamber, and \n and an outlet passageway extending out of a lateral side of said cylindrical chamber; \n a spool positioned in said cylindrical chamber, said spool comprising:\n a body portion having an external radial dimension substantially equal to said internal radial dimension of said cylindrical chamber, said body portion comprising a blocking body portion that closes said valve when positioned between said inlet passageway and said outlet passageway, and \n a fluid passageway extending through said body portion adjacent said blocking body portion that opens said valve when aligned with said inlet passageway and said outlet passageway; \n a first seal and a second seal mounted on said spool surrounding said fluid passageway to engage and seal said inlet passageway and said outlet passageway, respectively; and a third seal and a fourth seal mounted on said spool surrounding said blocking body portion to engage and block said inlet passageway and said outlet passageway, respectively.
