Abstract
A plug assembly is configured for use in a valve. These configurations may include a plug with a sealing surface that can interface with a seat to regulate flow of fluid through the valve. A keyed shaft may insert into the plug. The keyed shaft can rotate to change location of key members in the plug. In one implementation, a technician can rotate the keyed shaft from a first position to a second position at which the key members couple the plug with the valve body.
