A fluid distributor system is described comprising a circular distributor plate formed with a central opening connected at one side of the plate to a fluid inlet pipe, and a plurality of outlet openings arranged in a circular array around the outer periphery of the distributor plate and each connected at said one side of the plate to one of a plurality of outlet pipes. A rotary distributor arm is rotatably mounted on an axis passing through the center of the distributor plate and in spaced relationship with respect to its opposite side. The distributor arm is formed with a passageway having an inlet at its center aligned with the inlet opening, and an outlet at its end selectively alignable with one of the peripheral outlet openings according to the selected rotary position of the distributor arm. The system further includes rotary drive means for rotating the distributor arm to a selected rotary position, and axial drive means effective, when the distributor arm is rotated to a selected position, to move the distributor arm axially against the distributor plate to bring the inlet end of the distributor arm passageway into communication with the discharge plate inlet opening, and the outlet end of the distributor arm passageway into communication with the selected outlet opening of the distributor plate.
