This is a 2 way valve that is used on create 2 out let form one.

Note: This is a design of a real product. and it is models for ABS material. For other materials the Dimensions will be slightly different.

This is my very first tutorial. May be I have extended the tutorial with lots of unnecessary steps. Hope you will neglect my mistakes.
thanks and regards.

1. Step 1:

   

   
   

   Create a profile of Hexagon with desired dimension on the Front Plane.

   For me the Inscribed circle diameter 25 mm.

   

   
   

   Perform Extruded boss with the sketched profile.

   Direction dimension: 33mm

2. Step 2:

   

   Select one of the end faces and Sketch.

   
   

   

   
   

   Draw a concentric circle of diameter 20 mm with the inscribed circle of the Hexagon.

   
   

   

   
   

   Perform Extrude boss with dimension 32 mm.

3. Step 3:

   

   Time to create some thread. Select Thread feature.

   

   On Thread Location:

   
   

   • Select the edge of the cylindrical part (Edge 1)
   • Select the end face of that part (face 1)
   • Tick offset (1.4mm) [ Its required to trim with starting face]
   • End condition: Blind - 21.4mm [total thread length - 19 mm]

   Specification:

   
   

   • NOTE: for external thread use thread method Cut thread and for internal thread use Extrude Thread
   • 

   

   
   

   
   

4. Step 4:

   

   Select the top face of the Hexagon part and Sketch.

   

   Sketch a circle with detailed dimension.

   

   Perform Extrude cut with the sketched profile up the half way.

   Direction Dimension: 10mm

   

   
   

   Again we will use Thread Feature.

   

   

   

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

5. Step 5:

   

   
   

   Select the end face and Sketch.

   

   Draw a concentric circle of diameter 12 mm.

   

   Perform Extruded Cut . Blind, Direction Dimension: at least 35mm

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

6. Step 6:

   

   Select end face of Hexagon and Sketch

   

   Draw a concentric circle of diameter 20.96mm.

   

   Perform Extruded cut - Blind - 15.4 mm

   

   Using Tread Feature for the Last time

   

   

   

   
   

   
   

   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

   
   

7. Step 7:

   Lets Round off the sharp edges.

   Select the Top Plane and Sketch.

   

   • draw a vertical construction line and profiles on the edge as shown below
   • 

   
   

   Perform Revolved Cut

   

   • Axis of Rotation: construction line of the sketch.

   

   
   

   
   

   So this is the Final product. Now you can export the model to SOLIDWORKS Visualize for randaring.
