Abstract
A modular valve including an outer housing having a longitudinal bore adapted to be aligned with the pipeline bore of a pipeline and a transverse bore which receives a modular housing assembly which includes a rotatable valve element for controlling flow through the outer housing longitudinal bore and thus through the pipeline in which the valve is mounted. The internal housing assembly is modular and can be removed and replaced should the valve need repair without the necessity of having to remove the entire housing from the pipeline in which it is installed.
