- Coupling, according to any one of the claims from 16 to the previous one, wherein a separator (26) for separating is comprised, which is suitable for separating the fluid, coming out of or going into the fourth opening (15) of the deflector element (1), from the fluid going into or coming out of the second opening (11).
- Coupling, according to any one of the claims from 16 to the previous one, wherein a body is comprised provided with a slot (31), which is suitable for containing stop means (30) of the deflector element (1) to limit the rotation of the deflector element (1).
- Fluid on-off single-pipe valve (3), comprising a coupling according to any one of the claims from 16 to 19.
- Single-pipe valve, according to claim 20, wherein a valve body (32) is comprised defining a chamber for the fluid (22), said valve body (32) being provided with a valve opening (33) that is suitable for holding said operating means and/or manoeuvring utensil (17; 18; 19) of said deflector element (1).
- Single-pipe valve, according to claim 21, wherein said valve opening (33) is suitable for holding and sealing operating means (17; 18) for said deflector element (1).
- Single-pipe valve, according to any one of the claims from 20 to the previous one, wherein a cap (34) is provided for closing said valve opening (33).
- Single-pipe valve, according to any one of the claims from 20 to the previous one, wherein a cap (34) is provided for covering the end of the operating means (17; 18) of the deflector element (1) coming out of said valve opening (33).
