A pair of stops are provided on a stem portion of the plug for accurately limiting the rotation of the plug to the 90.degree. different open and closed positions of the valve. The stops are defined by flat surfaces engaging a cylindrical retaining pin extending chordally through an upstanding annular wall portion of the body so as to provide improved accurate positioning of the plug in the open and closed positions of the valve.
