Abstract

See full text

A valve device (10) includes a hollow body (12) adapted to be passed through by a flow of fluid and having an inlet section (12a) and at least one outlet section (12b) to receive and dispense fluid. A joining element (14) connects to a fluid source, and connects at the inlet section (12a). A support bracket (16) is assembled to the inlet section (12a) to hold the joining element (14) connected to the hollow body (12), and is configured to be fastened to an external load-bearing structure. One electrically controlled valve (18) is arranged in the hollow body (12) between the inlet section (12a) and the outlet section (12b), and configured for selectively controlling the exit of the flow of fluid. The valve device (10) also includes a locking member (20) arranged astride the bracket (16) and the inlet section (12a), and tends to elastically tighten against the support bracket (16) and the inlet section (12a) from laterally opposite parts, to axially constrain the support bracket (16) and the inlet section (12a) one to the other.
