Abstract:
Insert elements that may be positioned within a high pressure plug valve. The elements have two or more recessed grooves formed around the fluid opening of the elements. The grooves are spaced from one another. A seal is placed in one and only one of the grooves. As wear occurs, the seal is relocated to one of the other grooves. Instead of a series of spaced grooves in a single insert element, a kit may be formed from two or more otherwise identical insert elements, each with a single recessed groove at a different position around the fluid opening.
