Abstract
Abstract A valve device includes a base board and a suction pressure responsive valve having two ports defined by tubular portions. The base board is composed of a pair of superimposed plates and a sealing gasket between the plates. One of the plates is formed with a pair of channels and the other with a pair of openings communicating with the channels, respectively. The sealing gasket has a pair of tubular portions disposed respectively in the openings of the base board plate with radial clearances. The tubular portions of the suction pressure responsive valve are sealingly inserted respectively into the tubular portions in the sealing gasket.
