The presnt disclosure relates to passively rotating a valve using fluid flow. Some aspects may involve a valve including a body, a lower stem, and vanes. The body may include a bottom portion that can be positioned with respect to a seat for preventing fluid flow when the valve is in a closed position. The lower stem may extend axially from the bottom portion of the body to position the bottom portion with respect to the seat. The vanes may extend from the body and be responsive to the fluid flow while the valve is in an open position such that the valve and the lower stem rotate with respect to the seat.
