Can globe valves be used in place of a gate valve?
” All globe valves aren’t “full flow” as the design of a globe valve won’t allow that. Globe valves are good for throttling water flow to a certain speed or volume. “What does W.O.G. stand for?” Water Oil Gas. “I’ve been told that when shopping for ball valves it’s most important to make sure the valves are ‘full port’. Do you agree?” In most cases/applications we believe that the quality of a valve is more critical because a slightly throttled flow will not impede much flow as the velocity will simply increase – causing some friction loss through the valve but very little as it’s for such a very short distance. “What is Keepalloy®?” Keepalloy is a globally patented lead-free copper alloy that uses bismuth and selenium instead of lead. Developed by Kitz and NSF certified, this lead-free brass meets the most rigorous criteria for lead-free systems worldwide, including California’s AB1953 and Vermont’s Act 193 (S.152). We hope that we have helped you on this page with brass/bronze valves
