ABSTRACT:
A compression-type valve seating ring device for sealingly engaging the valve seat. The seating ring device includes a resilient cylindrical body having a central axis and having a side surface, a top surface and a bottom surface. A first inward bevel is defined circumferentially from the side surface toward the top surface, and a second contour is defined circumferentially between the first bevel and the top surface, wherein the first bevel provides a seating surface and the second contour enhances the seal and life of the valve. The valve element is configured symmetrically such that top and bottom sides are substantially identical.
