Multipurpose valve assembly tool

A multipurpose valve tool comprising:

• a plurality of flow control discs configured to be installed within a valve body of a valve assembly and to modulate a flow of fluid through at least one outlet port of the valve body;
• a retention ring comprising a substantially U-shaped portion terminating at a first curved end and a second curved end, the first curved end and the second curved end configured to be intertwined to retain the plurality of flow control discs on a component of the valve assembly when the plurality of flow control discs are not installed within the valve body;
• a valve key having a cutout region configured to couple to a valve stem of the valve assembly in order to rotate a valve member of the valve assembly;
• and
• wherein the plurality of flow control discs, the retention ring, and the valve key are formed as an integrated part and detachably coupled to each other.

A system for controlling fluid flow, the system comprising:

• a valve assembly comprising:
• a valve body having a valve chamber and plurality of ports into the valve chamber;
• a valve member controllably movable relative to the valve body and configured to modulate fluid flow through the valve assembly;
• and
• a valve stem coupled to the valve member and extending from the valve body;
• an actuator comprising a motor and a drive device, the drive device driven by the motor and coupled to the valve stem for driving the valve member between multiple positions;
• a plurality of flow control discs configured to be installed within the valve body to modulate a flow of fluid through at least one outlet port of the valve body, each flow control disc comprising a central bore having a unique diameter;
• a retention ring configured to be inserted through the central bore of each of the plurality of flow control discs when the plurality of flow control discs are not installed within the valve body in order to retain the plurality of flow control discs on the actuator.
