Zusammenfassung:A valve for regulating a fluid flow includes a body (106) with an opening at a top (706). The valve also includes a bonnet (202) arranged within the opening, The valve further includes a coupling mechanism (302) joining the body (106) to the bonnet (202). The coupling mechanism (302) includes a plurality of body lugs (312) extending radially inward toward a stem axis (116), each body lug (312) being separated from an adjacent body lug (312) by a body opening (606). The coupling mechanism (302) also includes a plurality of bonnet lugs (308) extending radially outward from the stem axis (116), each bonnet lug (308) being separated from an adjacent bonnet lug (308) by a bonnet opening (616). Each bonnet lug (308) is adapted to axially move through a corresponding body opening (606) to transition an axial position of the bonnet (202) relative to the body (106).
