Abstract
A clapper comprises a first valve body piece, a second valve body piece, wherein the second valve body piece is separate from the first valve body piece, and a seal. The first valve body piece has a seal groove. The second valve body piece has an angled edge. The seal is disposed in the seal groove of the first valve body piece. When the first and second valve body pieces are coupled together, radial compression of the seal between the seal groove and the angled edge causes the seal to be retained within the clapper.
