ABSTRACT:
In a valve for controlling fluid flow, the spindle comprises a flexible polymeric sheath, preferably PTFE, around the end of a stem, the sheath having a tubular portion suspended clear of the stem and having an oversize external ridge which is accommodated within the bore by flexing of the tubular portion, resistance to this flexing serving to bias the external ridge against the surrounding body to provide a gland seal.
