Abstract:
A flow control device can be implemented to include an riser, a control valve, a simplified retaining rod, and a ball. The riser can include multiple threaded segments, one or more predetermined breakaway points, and a predetermined length and diameter. The control valve can include a first threaded valve end for detachably connecting to the riser, a second threaded valve end for detachably connecting to a supply line, and a ball housing integrally connected to the first and second valve ends. The ball housing has a predetermined internal housing diameter. The ball is enveloped inside the ball housing, and the ball diameter is smaller than the internal housing diameter and larger than a first opening between the first valve end and the ball housing and a second opening between the second valve end and the ball housing. The retaining rod physically prevents the ball from obstructing the first opening.
