Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for directing a fluid from an inlet to one of a plurality of outlets that are associated with a wellhead assembly includes a block body having a block inlet and a plurality of block outlets. A selector plug is located within the block body, the selector plug having a plug inlet aligned with the block inlet along a central axis, a plug outlet at an angle relative to the central axis, and a plug bore extending from the plug inlet to the plug outlet. A stem member is moveable to selectively rotate the selector plug within the block body so that the plug outlet aligns with one of the plurality of block outlets, providing a fluid flow path from the block inlet to such one of the plurality of block outlets, and impeding fluid communication from the block inlet to the others of the plurality of block outlets.
