A valve that lets you adjust the flow of water to any rate between fully on and fully off
1. A valve with a linear motion closure member, one or more ports and a body distinguished by a globular shaped cavity around the port region. 2. A type of flow regulating valve consisting of a movable disc and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. In the general design, the fluid enters below the valve seat and leaves from the cavity above the seat.
A valve with a rounded disc that shuts off the flow when closed.
A valve having an exterior form like a globe and an interior movable disk, parallel to the flow, fitting into a circular seat in a bent partition inside the globe.
a multi-turn valve made up of a body, a bonnet, a valve seat, a valve plug, and a valve spindle
a valve through which water flows in the inlet, up through the sealing and flow control opening and out the outlet.
A globular shaped valve whose internal moving parts consist of the disk, the valve stem and the handwheel.
A valve whose closure element is a flat disc or conical plug sealing on a seat which is usually parallel to the flow axis. Can be used for throttling services.
A valve that uses a rubber or composition seat against the valve body used to restrict or stop the flow of water. Can be either straight through or angle configuration.
A type of stemmed valve that is used for flow control. The valve has a globe shaped plug that rises or falls vertically when the stem handwheel is rotated.
A common valve used in place of a needle valve. It doesn't have as fine of an adjustment capability as a needle valve. This means it takes fewer turns to open the valve.
A type valve where a washer presses on a round opening to shut off the water flow. The handle turns several revolutions from full open to full closed. The sink and outdoor faucets in most homes are globe valves except for single lever and push/pull faucets. Back to glossary index.
A type of valve in which the closing element is a segment of a sphere or a flat or rounded gasket which is moved into or onto a round port.
A stop valve using the round-disk-and-seat principle. Used where the fluid controlled is comparatively clean.
Used to regulate flow of fluid, these valves are opened and closed when a plug or horizontal disc is lowered from its circular seat.
A gate valve with a curved chamber.
Globe valves are named for their spherical body shape. The two halves of the valve body are separated by an internal baffle which has an opening forming a seat onto which a movable disc can be screwed in to close (or shut) the valve. In globe valves, the disc is connected to a stem which is operated by screw action.
