ABSTRACT:
A combination shut off and check valve is disclosed in which the shut off valve function is provided by a manipulable ball closure. The ball closure includes a seat in its flow hole on its upstream side for accepting a loose ball included in a chamber upstream of the ball closure. The loose ball will not seat itself ordinarily because the chamber is sufficiently large so as to cause the center of the loose ball to be below the central axis of the ball closure flow hole. A pressure differential in the downstream direction causes the loose ball to roll up an inclined ramp leading to the flow hole, where it seats in check valve fashion.
