Rising stem soft seat plug valve

摘要

A rising stem plug valve has a valve body housing that receives a plug. A handle assembly is attached to the plug for rotational movement of the plug between operative positions. A control assembly is attached to the plug for unseating and seating of the plug within the valve body. The plug includes at least one plug portion having openings corresponding to an interior configuration. Ring cords substantially surround the openings in the plug to create a seal therearound. The plug may include upper and lower plug portions with an untapered portion located between them. An O-ring is located on the untapered portion of the plug to maintain separation between the upper and lower plug portions.
