ABSTRACT:
An improved control valve includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet, a passage leading from the inlet to the outlet through the housing, a control configured to selectively control the flow of material through the housing, and at least one extension associated with the housing for changing a position of the inlet and/or outlet of the valve. One or more embodiments of a method include the steps of providing a valve having an inlet or outlet which is adjustably positionable with respect to a remaining portion of the valve, changing a position of the inlet and/or outlet of the valve with respect to a remaining portion of the valve, and connecting the inlet and outlet of the valve to inlet and outlet pipes, respectively.
