  • Publication number: 20240019034
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve body having first and second fluid ports extending to a valve cavity, a seat carrier subassembly installed in the valve cavity and including a seat carrier body with a first annular inner wall defining a first flow aperture aligned with the first fluid port and a valve seat disposed in an annular recess surrounding the first annular inner wall, and a second annular inner wall defining a second flow aperture aligned with the second fluid port. A valve element is disposed within the valve cavity and is movable between a closed position sealing against the valve seat and an open position permitting fluid flow across the valve seat between the first and second flow apertures. An outer periphery of an orifice restriction is seated against an interior portion of one of the first annular inner wall and the second annular inner wall.

  • Patent number: 11796077
    Abstract: A valve cavity cap arrangement including an insert and a threaded cap is provided in combination with a valve body defining a valve cavity, a central passage, and at least one offset passage. The insert is received in the valve cavity and includes an inner annular sealing surface sized to seal against a portion of the recessed surface surrounding the central passage, an outer annular sealing surface sized to seal against an outer periphery of the recessed surface, surrounding the offset passage(s), and a solid web portion extending between the inner and outer annular sealing surfaces. The threaded cap includes an outer threaded portion threadably engaged with an internal threaded portion of the valve cavity, a central end portion configured to apply a first sealing force to the inner annular sealing surface, and an outer end portion configured to apply a second sealing force to the outer annular sealing surface.
