ABSTRACT:
In a valve for opening and closing a fluid path by rotating a plug in a sleeve made of teflon resin, a plug body and valve stem are connected together. The plug is pressed by a spring to form a seal so that a rotating and opening/closing operation of the plug is smooth. The plug is made in a shape of top cut conical form, wherein contacting protrusions which are formed at both ends of a fluid path are positioned within valve chamber to contact the plug. When a valve sheet of teflon resin is burned by fire, the plug is urged downward so as to closely contact the surfaces of the contacting protrusions so that fluid does not leak around the plug.
