Standard Type <strong>Lubricated</strong> Steel <strong>Plug</strong> <strong>Valves</strong><br />

The standard style has the stem<br />

extended from the top of the valve.<br />

The valves have a bolted cover which<br />

retains the plug in case the gland is<br />

removed. The gland maintains the<br />

pressure in the cover and prevents any<br />

leakage through the stem as well as<br />

retaining the plug in position.<br />

page 22<br />

The gland supports the packing and acts<br />

as an anti-friction bearing to prevent<br />

stem packing rotation. <strong>Plug</strong> lubrication<br />

grease is injected through a nipple (fitted<br />

with a check valve). Greasing can be<br />

done when the valve is under pressure.<br />

The plug grooves avoid grease leakage<br />

into the line as during rotation each<br />

groove is isolated from the other<br />

grooves. The stem is provided with a<br />

open/closed position indicator.<br />

Locking device is optional.<br />
