Diaphgram » Plug Valve
A plug valve is a quarter-turn rotational motion valve that use a tapered or cylindrical plug to stop or start flow. In the open position, the plug-passage is in one line with the inlet and outlet ports of the valve body. If the plug 90° is rotated from the open position, the solid part of the plug blocks the port and stops flow. Plug valve are similar to ball valve in operation.
