Next, a method of assembling the flow direction switching device 1 will be described. In order to assemble the flow direction switching device 1, first, the lift shaft 21 having the valve bodies 31a and 32a fixed thereto and the lift shaft 22 having the valve bodies 33a and 34a fixed thereto are valved from the through holes 17 with female threads of the valve body 11. Bodies 32a, 34a
Is inserted downward, and the insertion is advanced so that the valve body 32
a and 34a respectively to the openings 14a, 1 of the first vertical hole 14.
4b and the openings 15a and 15b of the second vertical hole 15 are inserted in this order. At this time, the valve bodies 31a and 33a are also located in the first lateral hole 12 through the female screw through hole 17. This lifting shaft 2
When 1 and 22 are inserted into the valve body 11, the valve body 32a of the second opening / closing valve 32 and the valve body 34a of the fourth opening / closing valve 34 are formed with a seat portion having a larger diameter than the openings 14b and 15b. Since the valve bodies 32a and 34a do not exist, the valve bodies 32a and 34a smoothly pass through the through holes 17 with female threads, the openings 14a and 15b, and the openings 14b and 15b. Therefore, unlike the conventional valve body 111 shown in FIG. 8, the valve body 11 can be formed of an integral member, and the valve body can be made lightweight and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, the valve body 11 of the lifting shafts 21 and 22
In order to install the flow direction switching device 1, the lifting shafts 21 and 22 only have to be inserted downward from the female screw through hole 17 of the valve body 11 which is an integral member.
