Abstract:
A valve device includes: a housing having a valve chamber and a ventilation chamber divided by a dividing wall, the dividing wall having an opening, and the housing having a discharge opening formed at a peripheral surface on the ventilation chamber side; a float valve coming into and out of contact with the opening; and a fuel vapor pipe connected with the discharge opening outside the housing. The ventilation chamber is provided with a tubular wall which communicates with the discharge opening and which extends from the discharge opening toward the inside of the ventilation chamber. The tubular wall has a surface on the dividing wall side which is provided with a ventilation hole communicating with the ventilation chamber. An end portion on the extending direction side of the tubular wall is closed.
