Abstract: A barrel valve assembly for a fluid distribution manifold. A barrel valve body has an off-axis passage with substantially linear walls therethrough, allowing for a substantially linear relationship between fluid flow through the body and angular rotation of the barrel valve within the manifold. The barrel valve thus requires a smaller working environment for the valve assembly, providing benefits in terms of assembly size and weight.
