An equalizer valve for a flapper in an SSV is disclosed. In one embodiment the plunger body is covered with a lubricious material in the bore in the flapper to counteract wear caused by off-center contact with the plunger by the flow tube. In another embodiment the flow tube and the plunger have matching angled surfaces to reduce the resultant moment of the plunger from offset contact of the flow tube. In another embodiment the flow tube contacts the plunger on center to eliminate a resultant moment, which can cause wear in the flapper bore or to the plunger.
