ABSTRACT:
A ball valve in which, even when a connecting sleeve is removed by loosening the associated union nut, the ball and annular seals of the valve will not blow out of the valve body under fluid pressure. A ball with an integral spindle is arranged in the valve body in such a manner as to be able to open and close a fluid passage therein. A seat is formed in the valve body and a part of the surface of the ball on the side thereof opposite the side where the spindle is provided and around a rotational axis of the spindle is in surface contact with the seat to thereby pivotally support the ball. Annular seals are provided in the fluid passage abutting against the ball from both sides to pivotally support the ball with the annular seals being urged towards the ball by seal carriers.
