Zusammenfassung:An in-line fluid flow control valve includes a housing defining an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber aligned along a outlet axis. The housing further defines a bore with a flow control device and an adjustment mechanism disposed therein for regulating a fluid flow rate. The flow control device defines a fluid passage interconnecting the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber. The plane and the outlet axis define an acute angle therebetween. The angled position of the bore relative to the outlet axis permits access to and adjustment of the flow control device, as well as replacement of the flow control device, without disconnecting any fittings attached to the inlet and the outlet of the control valve.
