Zusammenfassung:A FLOW CONTROL SCREEN (100) HAVING A FLOW PATH BETWEEN THE INTERIOR OF A BASE PIPE (102) AND A FILTER MEDIUM (112). A VALVE ASSEMBLY, INCLUDING A VALVE PLUG, A BALL RETAINER, AND A PISTON BODY (148) WITH A COLLET ASSEMBLY (156) IS DISPOSED WITHIN THE FLOW PATH IN AN OPENING OF A HOUSING DISPOSED ABOUT THE BASE PIPE (102). THE COLLET ASSEMBLY (156) IS RADIALLY OUTWARDLY CONSTRAINED BY A RADIALLY REDUCED SECTION OF THE OPENING IN A FIRST POSITION PREVENTING ENTRY OF THE VALVE PLUG THEREIN AND RADIALLY OUTWARDLY UNCONSTRAINED BY THE RADIALLY REDUCED SECTION IN A SECOND POSITION. REVERSE FLOW IS INITIALLY PREVENTED AS INTERNAL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SEATS THE VALVE PLUG ON A SEAT OF THE OPENING AND CAUSES THE PISTON BODY (148) TO SHIFT TO THE SECOND POSITION UPON REACHING A PREDETERMINED THRESHOLD. THEREAFTER, EXTERNAL DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE CAUSES THE VALVE PLUG TO ENTER THE PISTON BODY (148) AND CONTACT THE BALL RETAINER, THEREBY ALLOWING REVERSE FLOW. THE MOST SUITABLE DRAWING:
