Abstract

See full text

An adjustable device for controlling closure of a valve closure member of a valve includes an adapter for mounting to a valve and an actuator for engaging the valve closure member, which is adapted to rotate about an axis for opening, closing or throttling the valve. The device also includes a slow close assembly that includes at least one friction member, which generates a friction force when the actuator is rotated to thereby limit the speed at which the handle may be rotated.
