Abstract: Provided is a ball valve having a retractable main ball seal and a clean-in-place spindle seal. By moving opening the spindle seal, the spindle seal cavity may be cleaned without disassembly by allowing fluid flow around and within the ball valve cavity. Similarly, by retracting the main ball seal, the valve cavity may be cleaning without disassembly. Opening a spindle seal may allow the fluid to drain naturally. In addition, a method for cleaning such a ball valve is provided.
