In a pressure regulating valve, a piston is provided, in an end on a side closer to a seat, with a recessed portion opening on the side closer to the seat, a valve element including: a tip portion contactable with the seat; a columnar retaining part inserted in the recessed portion; and a press-fit portion protruding radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of the retaining part and being press-fitted in an inner peripheral surface of the recessed portion. The press-fit portion has a spherical shape.

A system includes an actuator housing having a plurality of adapter lugs extending radially inward toward an axis, each adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs secured to the housing via a respective connector. The system also includes a bonnet having a plurality of bonnet lugs extending radially outward away from the axis, each bonnet lug of the plurality of bonnet lugs being separated by a respective space, the space being sized to permit axial movement of an adapter lug of the plurality of adapter lugs toward a lower flange arranged axially lower than the plurality of bonnet lugs.

Seal assemblies for use with fluid valves are described. An example apparatus includes a cage; a plug including a seal gland; and means for sealingly engaging an inner surface of the cage at least partially positioned in the seal gland and including a first portion and a second portion, in response to a fluid acting on the first portion in a first direction, the first portion to engage, outwardly urge, and splay the second portion to sealingly engage the cage, in response to the fluid acting in a second direction, the second portion to deter the fluid from acting on the first portion, the first direction opposite the second direction.
