Claim 20:
21. A valve body for use in a valve housing having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the valve body comprising:
an outer shell being partially spherical;
an inner restrictive core having an outer surface;
a flow-through channel at least partially defined by the inner restrictive core;
a plurality of flow control passageways, each flow control passageway having an outer surface opening at the outer surface of the inner restrictive core;
the outer shell moveable relative to the valve housing between a closed position and an open position to sequentially expose a portion of the outer surface of the inner restrictive core;
the inner restrictive core movable relative to the valve housing between a restricted position and an unrestricted position;
in the restricted position, a portion of the plurality of flow control passageways on said portion of the outer surface of the inner restrictive core are moved into fluid communication with the fluid inlet and fluid outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween;
in the unrestricted position, the flow-through channel is moved into fluid communication with the fluid inlet and fluid outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween;
wherein the outer shell and the inner restrictive core are each independently movable within the valve housing.
