 2nd offset
First Offset
The first offset is between the center of
stem and the center of the seat. This off-
set puts the stem behind the sealing
surface for gradual disc engagement
when the disc moves in and out of the
seat. This action prevents cutting or
pinching of the seat.

Second Offset
The second offset is between the center of
the valve and the center of the stem. This
offset allows the disc to swing free of the
seat in the open position. This procentric
action reduces seat wear, and minimizes
seating torque to create an eccentric
seating action for high cycle applications.
