ABSTRACT:
A valve assembly for the control of pressurized fluids. The assembly comprises a casing housing a valve chamber with communicating inlet and outlet ports. A valve seat and valve-operating subassembly is associated with one of the ports. The valve-operating subassembly comprises a valve body threaded into the casing adjacent the valve seat. The valve body has an axial bore which receives a headed shaft having a seal washer mounted on its head in separable engagement with the valve seat. Resilient means, e.g. a coil spring, urges the washer in the direction of engagement with the valve seat with a force less than the force of the pressurized fluid introduced into the chamber. The shaft and/or seal washer preferably are mounted for free rotation to minimize scuffing of the washer during operation of the valve. The casing preferably comprises a manifold having two or more outlet ports with a valve-operating subassembly associated with at least one of them to prevent contamination of fluid discharged therethrough with foreign materials inadvertently introduced into the valve chamber.
