Abstract
A device for controlling the flow of fluid through a conduit from an upstream side of the device to a downstream side of the device. The device includes a valve seat mounted on a casing that defines a valve aperture, a mounting member arranged on the downstream side of the valve aperture; a valve member mounted on the mounting member. The valve member is arranged to selectively open and close the valve aperture thereby controlling the flow of the fluid through the valve aperture. A seal retaining member is arranged adjacent the valve seat and, with the valve seat, defines a seal retaining groove. A compliant seal within the seal retaining groove seals the valve aperture when the valve member is moved to close the valve aperture.
