摘要： A fluid diverter valve for selectively switching fluid flow between two paths is disclosed. The valve (200) includes an intake port (16), two output ports (17, 18), and a valve member (220) mounted for reciprocating movement between a first position wherein fluid is substantially prevented from flowing through the first output port, and a second position wherein fluid is substantially prevented from flowing through the second output port. The valve includes two switches (74, 276). Actuating one of the switches causes the valve member to move from the first position to the second position. Actuating the other switch causes the valve member to move from the second position to the first position. The disclosed valve acts as an integral diverter valve and vacuum break.
