A fluid control device comprising: a valve body defining an inlet , an outlet , and a flow path connecting the inlet and the outlet ; a control element movable along a longitudinal axis (X) between the inlet and the outlet between a closed position, in which the control element engages a valve seat , and an open position, in which the control element is spaced away from the valve seat ; a stem operatively coupled to the control element and axially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X); an indicator assembly at least partially disposed in a bore of the valve body along an indicator axis (Y) that is non-parallel with the longitudinal axis (X), wherein movement of the stem along the longitudinal axis (X) causes movement of a rod of the indicator assembly along or about the indicator axis (Y) to indicate a position of the control element , characterized in that the movement of the rod indicates a position of the control element when the control element is in the closed position, the open position, and a position between the open and closed positions, wherein the indicator assembly includes the rod , an indicator that is coupled to the rod , a spring , and a plug coupled to the valve body , wherein the indicator is slidably coupled to the plug and is extendable outside of the valve body , wherein the spring is disposed between the plug and a spring seat carried by the rod such that the spring biases the rod toward the stem , wherein the spring seat moves axially along the indicator axis (Y) and compresses the spring against the plug , and wherein the spring is disposed in the bore of the valve body . a valve body defining an inlet , an outlet , and a flow path connecting the inlet and the outlet ; a control element movable along a longitudinal axis (X) between the inlet and the outlet between a closed position, in which the control element engages a valve seat , and an open position, in which the control element is spaced away from the valve seat ; a stem operatively coupled to the control element and axially aligned with the longitudinal axis (X); an indicator assembly at least partially disposed in a bore of the valve body along an indicator axis (Y) that is non-parallel with the longitudinal axis (X), wherein movement of the stem along the longitudinal axis (X) causes movement of a rod of the indicator assembly along or about the indicator axis (Y) to indicate a position of the control element , characterized in that the movement of the rod indicates a position of the control element when the control element is in the closed position, the open position, and a position between the open and closed positions, wherein the indicator assembly includes the rod , an indicator that is coupled to the rod , a spring , and a plug coupled to the valve body , wherein the indicator is slidably coupled to the plug and is extendable outside of the valve body , wherein the spring is disposed between the plug and a spring seat carried by the rod such that the spring biases the rod toward the stem , wherein the spring seat moves axially along the indicator axis (Y) and compresses the spring against the plug , and wherein the spring is disposed in the bore of the valve body . <EOS>
