Abstract

See full text

Anti-rotation assemblies for use with fluid valves are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a retainer collar coupled at an end of a plug, the plug including a plug collar around which the retainer collar is disposed, the plug and the retainer collar being substantially flush at an interface between the plug and the retainer collar, a fastener extending transversely through the retainer collar and the plug collar to couple the retainer collar at the end of the plug, when the retainer collar and the plug are disposed within a valve body, a stem extends through the retainer collar and the plug to enable the plug to be moved within the valve body; and an anti-rotation collar to receive the retainer collar, the anti-rotation collar coupled at an end of a cage, the anti-rotation collar and the retainer collar having corresponding non-circular cross-sections to inhibit rotation of the retainer collar and the plug when the plug is moved within the valve body.
