Abstract
An end loaded ball valve having a fluid channel and a ball moving gate with a ball that seats against a valve seat to block passage of fluid through the valve. The valve also includes a removable retainer in the flow channel of the valve. The retainer, when in functional position in the valve, holds the valve seat in position in the valve and, when removed from the valve, allows access to the seat and the ball through the channel. The gate is designed to hold the ball during operation of the valve but to release the ball for removal through the channel for repair or replacement.
