Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a multi-component valve system for use in pumps such as fracking pumps for use in subterranean resource production. The assembly includes an insert retainer having a retainer head and a retainer pin. The retainer pin has an upper section extending below the retainer head and a grooved center section below the upper section. A valve is centered on the upper section of the retainer pin. An insert is located on the valve. A guide has a central portion centered on the upper section of the retainer pin and four legs extending from the central portion. A collar has a flange and a collar body that is swaged into the center section of the retainer pin.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a multi-component valve system for use in pumps such as fracking pumps for use in subterranean resource production. The assembly includes a retaining pin having a retaining cap on its upper end. Located on the retaining pin are an insert retainer, an insert beneath the insert retainer, a valve beneath the insert, and a guide beneath the valve. The guide has a generally truncated pyramid shape, and a central portion on its upper end. The central portion is centered on the retaining pin. The retaining pin has an expanded lower end to secure the valve assembly together.
