Plug valves are excellent sanitary devices with minimal pressure drops. This kind of valve is constructed with a special taper which has been carefully designed to reduce wedging and galling.
CSE Plug valves are made of type 316 stainless steel and come in the Clamp and Butt-Weld end configurations. Available in rubber or stainless steel plugs.
Note: Plug valves, because of inherent design, are recommended only for low-pressure applications (25 psi maximum); for use with non-hazardous products, and at temperatures not to exceed 100°F. They are subject to leakage almost from the initial time of installation because of normal operating, maintenance, and cleaning procedures.
