A media control valve has a valve body having a media inlet and a media outlet and a plunger which is positioned within the valve body. The plunger is connected to a metering control assembly in the bore of the valve body and can be removed without disturbing the control assembly. A sleeve is positioned in the valve body between the valve body and the plunger. The sleeve includes an integral seal for sealing the valve to a flow device such as a base. The valve stem or post for housing the control knob may have metering marks for visually indicating the position of the plunger relative to the sleeve. The control knob on the valve is aligned with the metering marks on the valve body, whereby the valve opening may be calibrated by visual indication of the alignment of the metering marks with the lower edge of the control knob.
A media control valve, comprising:
A media control valve comprising:
A modular media control valve assembly adapted to be mounted on a flow device, the valve comprising a first module including a valve body and a control knob assembly, a second module comprising a plunger adapted to be carried in the valve body and removably mounted on the control knob assembly, and a third module comprising a sleeve adapted to be carried in the body and including an integral seal for sealing the valve body to the flow device when mounted thereon.
The valve of claim 32, wherein the internal bore of the upper portion is tapped and the control shaft is threaded with complementary threads, whereby rotation of the shaft in the bore causes axial movement of the control knob, shaft and plunger relative to the valve body.
