🔍 Key Concepts

• Look at the shape of the closing element inside the pipe (disc, plug, gate, or flap). • Notice how the handle movement (quarter-turn vs multiple turns) relates to opening and closing the valve. • Compare the body shape to typical globe, gate, butterfly, and check valves used in marine piping systems.

💭 Think About

• Does this valve appear to use a disc that rotates in the center of the pipe, or a stem that moves a wedge/plug up and down? • Would you expect this style of valve to be quick-acting (about a 90° turn) or require many turns of a handwheel to go from fully open to fully shut? • In the illustration, when the handle rotates, what happens to the internal part you see in the opening of the valve body?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether the internal piece looks like a flat disc across the bore or a rising gate/plug. • Check if the operator on top is a lever for quarter-turn operation rather than a threaded stem with handwheel. • Make sure the flow passage is straight-through, with the closing element turning within the passage rather than sliding into a separate seat.
