ABSTRACT:
A two piece ball valve assembly kit specifically for use with a hollow T or Y pipe joint. The valve includes a valve actuator assembly which can be connected by threads or a flanged connection to the inlet of the joint and which includes a spherical valve element which can be linearly reciprocated by rotating an operating handle. A disjointed seating element having a circular seating surface may be connected to the outlet of the pipe joint by a threaded or a flanged connection in axial alignment with the valve element. The valve element may be reciprocated within the joint against the seating surface to control fluid flow through the joint, with the joint serving as a valve housing. The ball valve also includes sealing members for excluding fluid from the valve housing when the valve is in the fully opened position. The valve assembly includes alternate embodiments usable with T or Y pipe joints.
