Claim:
A fuel valve for a turbine, the valve comprising: a valve housing having an inlet port and an outlet port; a valve body disposed within the valve housing and defining a passageway and a pair of orifices in communication with the inlet and outlet ports; a clevis valve member having at least two spaced apart prongs located adjacent to the valve body to interrupt flow through the orifices when the clevis valve member is in a closed position so as to prevent flow from the inlet port to the outlet port; a flexure pivot having a first end mounted to the housing and having a second end movable relative to the first end and coupled to the clevis valve member to permit the clevis valve member to pivot between the closed position and an open position in which the prongs open the orifices to permit flow from the inlet port to the outlet port; and a drive assembly for effecting movement of the clevis valve member between the open and closed positions.
