• a valve core disposed in said valve body;
• a self-aligning valve seat member pivotably engaged with said valve core, said self-aligning valve seat member including a sealing surface;
• and spring means engaged with said valve body and said valve core, said spring means biasing said valve core into a closed position wherein said sealing surface of said self-aligning valve seat member engages said sealing surface of said valve body thereby prohibiting fluid flow through said valve, said valve core being slidable generally within said valve body to an open position wherein said sealing surface of said self-aligning valve seat member disengages from said sealing surface of said valve body thereby allowing fluid flow through said valve.

A valve comprising:

• a valve body which includes a first sealing surface and a second sealing surface;
• a valve core disposed in said valve body;
• a sealing member disposed on said valve core and engaged with said first sealing surface of said valve body;
• a self-aligning valve seat member pivotably engaged with said valve core;
• a sealing member disposed on said self-aligning valve seat member;
• and spring means engaged with said valve body and said valve core, said spring means biasing said valve core into a closed position wherein said sealing member on said self-aligning valve seat member engages said second sealing surface of said valve body thereby prohibiting fluid flow through said valve, said valve core being slidable generally within said valve body to an open position wherein said sealing member on said self-aligning valve seat member disengages from said second sealing surface of said valve body thereby allowing fluid flow through said valve.
