摘要： A dual plunger valve having nested inner and outer plungers seated within a bore in the valve housing. The valve housing has an inlet port and an outlet port fluidly connected by the bore and sealed from one another by the plungers which are biased towards respective sealing surfaces by a pair of nested biasing elements located between the inlet port and the outlet port. The outer plunger is slidable within the bore and has a lip extending inwardly therefrom. The inner plunger is slidable within the outer plunger between a sealed position and a second position wherein it is in contact with the lip. Pressure in the inlet port which is high enough to overcome the force of the biasing elements causes the inner plunger to slide within the outer plunger to its second position wherein the outer plunger will then begin to slide within the bore to remove the seal between the inlet port and the outlet port.
