The valve includes a rotatably mounted ball member having a passage extending therethrough, a valve seat for sealingly engaging the ball member, the ball member including a flattened portion which will not engage the valve seat when positioned adjacent thereto. When the flattened portion is adjacent the valve seat, the ball member may easily be removed from the valve chamber without having to first retract the seat.
