Globe Valves
10 products
Manual globe valves are the most common valve type in control applications. They are used to regulate the flow in a pipeline and are ideal for usage with steam, hot & cold water and oil pipelines. The valves are capable of regulating pressure, isolating flow, throttling, and completely shutting off the flow using a handwheel.
Made up of a movable disc and a stationary seat within a circular body (Hence the name), in a Globe Valve, fluid typically flows from the bottom to the top of the disc, but the valve can be configured for reverse flow if necessary.
Available in a multitude of pressure and temperature ratings and supplied as bellow sealed, SDNR (Screw-down non-return valve) and angle seat in sizes ranging from ½” – 12”.
Benefits of Globe Valves.
- Precise control: Offer a range of flow control options, allowing for fine adjustments from maximum flow to complete shut-off.
- Reliable shutoff: Creates a tight seal when closed, which is important for stopping flow during emergencies or maintenance.
- Dependable: Low leakage rate and are resistant to clogging.
- Durable: Made from strong materials that can withstand corrosion, high pressure, and high temperatures.
An extensive range of globe valves available in a variety of materials.
Flocon stocks globe valves in a range of materials including bronze, cast iron, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Connection options include threaded, flanged, socket weld, and butt weld.
- Brass Compression Stopcock: Perfect for hot water distribution in areas where water has high corrosive properties.
- Bronze: These valves are suitable for engineering, marine and HVAC applications. Handwheel operated, these flanged globe valves are cast with a Bronze body and Brass stem, featuring a PTFE disc seat and is rated for a pressure of PN32.
- Cast Iron: Perfect for hot & cold water, steam, air and oil pipelines, cast iron globe valves are suitable for industrial, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) and marine applications.
- Cast Steel: Provides a leak-tight shut off for complete isolation or can be used to open partially for flow regulation, these valves are suitable for industrial and marine applications.
- Carbon Steel: Designed for isolation in high-temperature and high-pressure systems, this valve is well-suited for mineral oil and steam applications. Available in screwed BSP (British Standard Pipe), NPT(National Pipe Thread Tapered) and Socket Weld.
- Stainless Steel: Perfect for pipelines pumping aggressive and corrosive liquids, but also suited to air, gas, water and oil pipelines too. Twin-Ply Bellows can be used on steam, gas, liquid, condensate and water systems.

FAQs for Globe Valves
Ball valves and globe valves are two common types of valves but have their own distinct characteristics and applications.
Ball valves are known for their simplicity and efficiency in controlling fluid flow. They consist of a spherical ball with a hole drilled through its center. By rotating the ball, the hole can be aligned to the flow path, allowing for quick and precise on/off control. Ball valves are ideal for applications where a minimal pressure drop is desired, such as in pipelines and distribution systems.
Globe valves, on the other hand, are designed for precise flow regulation. They feature a disc-shaped plug that moves vertically within the valve body, gradually restricting or opening the flow passage. Due to the design of the valve, globe valves can introduce a higher pressure drop compared to ball valves.
The choice between whether a ball valve and a globe valve should be used depends on your specific requirements. Ball valves are best suited for on/off control and low-pressure drop applications, while globe valves excel in precise flow regulation and throttling.
Due to the materials, design and size globe valves are usually more expensive than ball valves.
Globe valves are available in three basic patterns. T, Y or Angle. The most common is the “T” (also known as the Z pattern).
- T: Offer precise flow control, especially for throttling. However, their design can cause significant pressure loss.
- Angle: Combines the functions of a valve and an elbow, reducing space requirements. They have a lower pressure drop compared to T- or Z-globe valves.
- Y: Minimises pressure loss due to their curved design, allowing for smoother fluid flow.
A stopcock is a type of globe valve with a tapered plug that fits into a seat in the valve body. Turning the handwheel moves the plug towards or away from the seat, which controls the flow of fluid.
