<p>To resist mechanical forces tending to unseat a fluid valve applied to seal against a high fluid pressure, a fluid valve assembly is equipped with a valve block (16) that, in response to the high fluid pressure, causes a locking member (28) to be forcibly wedged into clamping engagement with the stem (54) of a valve (50), thereby securing the valve in its closed, seated position. When the high fluid pressure is relieved, the valve stem is unclamped, and the valve can then be readily lifted to an open position. <IMAGE></p> |
