Zusammenfassung:A zero leakage valve, employing a radially squeezed elastomeric o-ring seal. In opening and closing, the o-ring is transferred from the valve element to a following retainer sleeve. The transfer is facilitated by relieving the squeeze on the o-ring coincidental with valve movement from closed to open positions. One embodiment is a dual element check valve employing the radial seal in conjunction with a conventional poppet and seat combination. The two valve elements act in a series arrangement.
