ABSTRACT:
A minimal wear valve assembly which includes a fluid reservoir having an inlet port and an outlet port for passage of the fluid therethrough. The reservoir defines a valve seat about and downstream of the outlet port. The assembly includes a valve having a first substantially non-deformable valve surface. The valve is movable with respect to the valve seat from an open condition which permits flow of the fluid through the outlet port to a closed condition which prevents flow of the fluid through the outlet port. The valve supports a sealing member for movement with the valve. The sealing member has greater compressibility than the first valve surface and provides a seal between the first valve surface and the valve seat upon movement of the valve to the closed condition.
