Abstract: A valve wherein a spherically shaped half ball element is arranged for rotation between open and closed positions with respect to a tubular seat element. Metal-to-metal sealing elements are disposed between the tubular seat and the valve body to develop an axial force in one direction when energized. A wedge element acts on the ball element to energize the metal-to-metal sealing elements and provide a rotation stop for the ball element. The ball element is truncated and attachable to a drive member which allows for shift of the ball element in open and closed positions. Metal-to-metal seals are provided throughout the valve.
