section 14 which defines an inlet passage 16 and an outlet passage region 18 in addition to the inlet section 14 the housing 12 includes an outlet section 20 which itself defines an outlet passage region 22 the outlet passage region 18 and the outlet passage region 22 collectively define an outlet passage of the valve 10 when the inlet and outlet sections 14 20 are rigidly attached to each other as seen in fig2 the attachment of the inlet and outlet sections 14 20 to each other is facilitated by the use of fasteners 24 such as bolts however those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that a wide variety of different attachment methods may be used to effectuate the rigid attachment of the inlet and outlet sections 14 20 to each other however in the valve 10 it is contemplated that any attachment method used to facilitate the attachment of the inlet and outlet sections 14 20 to each other will be adapted to allow for the periodic separation of the inlet section 14 from the outlet section 20 as may be needed to access the interior of the housing 12 to allow for maintenance on other.
