Standard Air Control/Shut-Off Valve and Air Control/Shut-Off Valve with Orifice

Direct air pump output to exhaust manifold or downstream to catalyst, depending on engine control strategy. Air control and air control/shut-off valves are of similar construction, except that air by-pass valve inlet is capped. Air control/shut-off valve with orifice has no bottom outlet tube as does the other type.
