A modular valve assembly includes a bonnetless main core, a first releasable connection, and a second releasable connection. A first inlet end connection includes a first inlet end flow passage. The first inlet end flow passage includes a curved portion that changes a direction of the first inlet end flow passage between 30 and 120 degrees. A second inlet end connection includes a second inlet end flow passage. The second inlet end connection passage is substantially straight. A first outlet end connection includes a first outlet end flow passage. The first outlet end flow passage includes an angled portion. A second outlet end connection passage includes a second outlet end flow passage. The first and second inlet end connections and the first and second outlet end connections are rapidly reconfigurable to form a variety of valve configurations.

Modular valve assembly

An anti-cavitation cage for a valve assembly. The anti-cavitation cage includes a body having a plurality of slots, a first end, and a second end. At least one slot of the plurality of slots includes an inside surface having a lattice structure. The lattice structure is one of uniform in grade through the at least one slot or a graded type of lattice structure varying in density from a first portion to a second portion. The anti-cavitation cage having these features is a single component.

A high flow/low flow valve includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected to one another by a fluid passageway. A valve seat is disposed in the fluid passageway. A low flow valve plug is disposed in the fluid passageway proximate valve seat, the low flow valve plug cooperating with the valve seat to control fluid flow through the valve seat. A high flow valve plug is disposed in the fluid passageway proximate valve seat, the high flow valve plug cooperating with the valve seat to control fluid flow through the valve seat. A low flow actuator is operatively connected to the low flow valve plug and a high flow actuator operatively connected to the high flow valve plug.
