COOLANT DISTRIBUTOR FLAPPER VALVE

A fluid valve includes a housing that has a port wall with first and second ports, a drive assembly that has an output drive, and a compound gate valve that is arranged in the housing and includes a shaft that supports first and second gates. The shaft is operatively coupled to the output drive. The shaft has a shaft axis. The shaft is configured to rotate about the shaft axis in response to the output drive between a first position in which the first gate seals against the first port and a second position in which the second gate seals against the second port, and a location of the shaft axis is configured to remain fixed relative to the port wall during rotation of the shaft between the first and second positions.
