Abstract
A valve assembly includes a poppet axially moveable in a passageway of a body member. The poppet has an annular seal sealingly engageable with a sealing abutment of the body and, when so engaged, blocks the flow of fluid between the first end of the body and the second end of the body. A rotatable actuator imparts axial movement to the poppet to move the annular seal from the positioned engaged to the shoulder to a positioned spaced from the shoulder.
