ABSTRACT:
A valve mechanism incorporates an unattached valve gate structure having a curved surface facing a valve seat and also having a flat surface. A gate structure mount movable with a controller has a flat mounting surface that faces the flat gate structure surface. The two flat surfaces abut one another, and, in use, this abutment is maintained by the flow of the fluid through the valve seat. The valve gate structure may include a holder having the flat gate structure surface along with a ball member held in the holder and having the curved gate structure surface.
