Valve yo gufunga ikoresheje icyuma ikoresha ibyuma bitatu irimo igice cy’icyuma gifunga imashini, disiki ebyiri za valve, intebe ebyiri za valve, intebe imwe, na silindiri enye. Igice cy’icyuma gifunga imashini gigizwe n’ibice bitatu A, B, na C bihujwe n’intebe ya valve. Hashyizweho ibikoresho byo gufunga hagati y’igice cy’icyuma n’intebe ya valve. Igice cy’icyuma gifunga imashini mu mwobo gihuzwa na silindiri binyuze mu mwobo uhuza. Mu guhindura aho icyuma gifunga imashini giherereye, icyerekezo cy’amazi mu muyoboro gishobora guhinduka; Bitewe n’ihindagurika ry’ubushyuhe mu mubiri ubika ubushyuhe, ubushyuhe bw’icyuma gisubiza inyuma ni buke, kandi nta byangombwa byihariye bisabwa ku bikoresho bya valve isubiza inyuma.

Ariko, bitewe n’ibisabwa kugira ngo ikoreshwe mu buryo buhoraho, valve isubiza inyuma igomba gutsinda kwangirika no gucika kw’ivumbi mu mwuka urimo amazi ndetse n’ingaruka zangiza. Ibice bya mashini bigomba kwemeza ko byangiritse no gucika kw’ivumbi biterwa no guhinduranya ibice kenshi, byasabye ko ibintu byizewe cyane kandi bimara igihe kirekire.
