8 Inch Plug Valve

An 8 inch plug valve, roughly equivalent to DN200, is a quarter-turn rotation valve designed for straightforward control of fluid flow in pipelines. It features a plug with a bored hole or port that, when aligned with the pipeline, allows fluid to pass through. By rotating the plug 90 degrees in the opposite direction, flow can be blocked effectively, perpendicular to the pipeline. This simple and robust mechanism makes 8 inch plug valves ideal for applications requiring frequent operation. Their design is particularly advantageous for handling slurries and viscous fluids containing large solid particles, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
