  • Publication number: 20180045323
    Abstract: A system configured to adjust a seat of a ball valve includes a cam-actuated valve that is configured to be controlled via rotation of a stem coupled to a ball of the ball valve. The cam-actuated valve is configured to enable a flow of fluid at a first pressure to an opening extending through a body of the ball valve to drive the seat of the ball valve away from the ball when the cam-actuated valve is in a first position.
