ABSTRACT:
An angle valve has a side port bore with a cylindrical inner seal surface chamfered at its outer end and a removable port fitting receivable in the port bore and having a cylindrical outer seal surface in which are formed two axially spaced-apart circumferential grooves, each generally rectangular in transverse cross section. Two seal rings of circular cross section are respectively received in the grooves so as to project radially outwardly therefrom beyond the other seal surface of the fitting. Each ring has a transverse cross-sectional area substantially equal to that of its associated groove so that when the fitting is disposed in the bore the rings are deformed to substantially fill the grooves. The chamfer cooperates with the fitting when inserted in the bore to define an annular cavity which communicates with one of the grooves to form an extension thereof so that the thus-extended groove has a transverse cross-sectional area substantially equal to that of the associated ring so as to be filled thereby when deformed.
