A discharge valve comprising a valve body, a valve member, and a valve
seat. The valve body has a first end; a second end; a central axis
therebetween; an inlet formed through the first end; a flow channel
extending from the inlet to the second end; a valve channel extending
from the inlet and terminating within the valve body; and at least one
discharge port extending from the valve channel to an outer surface of
the valve body. The valve member is substantially-spherical and movably
disposed within the valve channel. The valve seat is disposed adjacent
the first end of the valve channel. The valve seat has an orifice defined
therethrough The valve member is movable between a first position,
engaging the valve seat to substantially seal the orifice, and a second
position adjacent the second end of the valve channel to permit fluid to
flow through the orifice.
