ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly for reducing cavitation includes a seat disposed within a valve housing intermediate a fluid inlet and outlet thereof. A disc guide is associated with the seat so as to be slidably moveable relative to the seat. The seat includes a wall defining an inner-chamber and having elongated slots formed therein so as to direct fluid towards a central portion of the fluid chamber. The disc guide includes a wall having elongated slots formed on an upper portion thereof, and a non-slotted lower portion configured to substantially occlude the elongated slots of the seat when the disc guide is moved into a closed position.
