Abstract
ABSTRACT
A rotary ball type valve in which a ball type plug is mounted within a cylindrical valve chamber closed at its opposite ends by adaptors removably attached to a valve body and which normally retain a pair of annular sealing means against opposite sides of the plug. Snap rings the body and projecting into the valve chamber prevent the plug and an upstream sealing means from being blown out of the chamber by fluid pressure in the event the downstream adapter and its associated sealing means is removed from the body while there is fluid pressure within the valve.

In the event adapt~r 46 is downstream in the installation ana is unthreaded from valve body 11 and re.moved Fxom the body along with sealing element 41, 1~ if there is any fluid pressure in upstream port S9, such fluid pressure will act upon seali~g element 40 and upon valve plug 18 and blow them out through valYe chamber 17 and threaded bore portion 13 un~ess - . some means is provided for restraining the same.
