Globe Valves a linear action Valves and are exceptionally designed to stop, begin, and modify the flow. The disk of a Globe Valves can be absolutely eliminated from the waft route or it can absolutely shut the waft path.

Although globe valves in the past had spherical bodies which gave them their name, many modern globe valves do not have much of a spherical shape. However, the term globe valve is still often used for valves that have such an internal mechanism. In plumbing, valves with such a mechanism are also often called stop valves since they don’t have spherical housing, but the term stop valve may refer to valves that are used to stop flow even when they have other mechanisms or designs.
