What is a Crane globe valve?
A globe valve controls flow with a disc that moves down onto a seat inside a rounded body. Flow changes direction through the body, which allows fine regulation.
Stop valves are small screw-down globe valves for plumbing. Piston valves use a piston and sealing rings instead of a disc. Because they throttle well, these valves suit steam, feed water and regulating duties.
