Hybrid Seat
The seat sealing surface is in the central internal section and
provides tight shutoff. The outer section of the seat above
the internal groove gives the support needed to the ball
when higher line pressure pushes the ball toward the
downstream seat, thus preventing "crushing" of the seat.
