What Is a Plug Valve?

Understanding the Working Principle & Applications

Plug Valve Working Principle Diagram - Quarter Turn Operation

A plug valve is a quarter-turn rotary valve that uses a tapered or cylindrical plug to control fluid flow. The plug has a port through its center that aligns with the pipeline when open, providing straight-through flow. When rotated 90 degrees, the solid portion blocks flow completely, making it ideal for isolation applications.

  • Fast Quarter-Turn Operation

    Quick 90° rotation for rapid opening and closing, ideal for emergency shut-off applications.

  • Simple Structure, Low Maintenance

    Fewer moving parts compared to gate valves, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements and longer service life.

  • Bi-Directional Flow Capacity

    Handles flow in both directions with equal efficiency, providing design flexibility in piping systems.
