A rotary valve provides a casing have an inlet and an outlet and a shaft mounted plug that selectively covers the inlet. A seat ring having an inner seating shoulder that is eccentric relative to the body bore of the inlet is provided. The seat ring can be rotated to accommodate variations in the center of the plug for more accurate seating. The plug can be provided with a secondary plug that selectively covers the outlet and that moves relative to the outlet in response to movement of the shaft. The outlet can include a low noise structure having, in one embodiment, a set of tapered slots that vary the flow cross section along the flow path.
