The present invention provides a lounge valve mounting housing and
assembly. The housing and assembly are useful for directing air through
ducts, and particularly the assembly is useful for directing air, or
other fluid, through Y-shaped junctions. The housing comprises in part a
plate and a supported platform. The plate mounts to a duct. An actuator
assembly can be affixed to the platform. The housing further includes a
cylinder; a shaft is disposed within the cylinder and extends into the
duct. A flapper affixed to the shaft can direct air depending on the
radial position of the shaft. The housing and assembly offers weight and
capital advantages over dual valve assemblies.
