ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a valve assembly comprising a housing and a valve mechanism. The housing includes a pair of support rings connected together with a set of legs. The valve mechanism is supported within the housing and includes an open position and a closed position. The valve mechanism is constructed and arranged such that when in the open position, fluid is allowed to flow through the valve mechanism into the housing and exit the housing between the legs. More than four legs extend between the first support ring and the second support ring, the legs arranged circumferentially such that the legs are substantially equally spaced around the housing.
