ABSTRACT:
An improved valve is disclosed. In the preferred and illustrated embodiment, the valve utilizes a flat disk within a valve body, the disk supporting a peripheral groove having bearings therein for alignment and to enable rotation, and further includes pressure balanced opposing faces and receives a valve seat therein. The flat disk and body arrangement reduces the size of a large valve and reduces the wear occurring on the valve seat and seal mechanism. Alternate embodiments and configurations are disclosed.
