Abstract

A valve comprising a body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage fluidly interconnecting the inlet and outlet; a shut-off device of the passage, with an actuating member movable along a longitudinal axis; a hand operating device of the actuating member, for selectively opening or closing the passage, and comprising a support element and a rotating element with at least one contact surface configured for sliding along at least one ramped surface on the support element, or vice versa, so as to convert rotation of the rotating element into a translation of the actuating member; wherein the body comprises two arms extending longitudinally and diametrically opposed relative to the longitudinal axis, with distal ends holding the support element.
