Abstract: A valve assembly includes a body, a ball, a first seating assembly, and a second seating assembly. The body includes an inlet, an outlet, and an inner chamber. The ball is positioned within the inner chamber. The ball includes a bore extending through the ball such that the ball is movable from a closed position and an open position. The ball prevents fluid flow from flowing between the inlet and the outlet in the closed position. The ball enables fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet in the open position. The first seating assembly is positioned adjacent the inlet. The second seating assembly is positioned adjacent the outlet.

Abstract: A valve assembly is provided. The valve assembly includes a valve body having a valve chamber and a plurality of ports into the valve chamber. The plurality of ports include a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port and the second port are aligned with a common axis and located on opposite sides of the valve chamber. The system further includes a valve member located within the valve chamber. The valve member is a rotatable ball having a fluid passage that extends through the ball and includes an opening at the end of the ball. The fluid passage is substantially oval-shaped when viewed at the opening in a direction parallel to the fluid passage. The valve assembly further includes a valve stem that is coupled to a valve member and has a first end that extends from the valve body.
