    (54) Assembly of valve housings and a cylinder


    (57) The valve housings (12, 14) are formed from solid, metal stock, and are bored through and tapped to define fluid inlet ports (18) and outlet ports, chambers, and tapped mounting holes. A cylinder (16) is replaceably fastened between the housings by means of tie bolts (26) fixed in one of the housings and in penetration of the other. Ends of the cylin­der open onto fluid inlet and discharge, valve-­confining chambers. Pulstation dampener bottles or tanks are removably fixed to the housings for communication with the inlet and outlet chambers, and admit fluid thereinto, and discharge fluid there­from, respectively.
