Commonly used types of manual valves
2026-03-23
Manual valves are key control elements in the pipeline fluid transportation system, widely used in industrial fields, designed to ensure smooth fluid transportation and safe operation of the system. This article focuses on four common types: manual butterfly valve (simple structure, convenient operation, divided into handle type and worm gear type, applicable to different caliber pipeline), manual gate valve (commonly used in water distribution system, divided into open rod and concealed rod type, opening and closing status intuitive), manual ball valve (used to cut off the flow, shunt and adjust the direction of flow, opening and closing parts for the ball) and manual disconnecting valve (good abrasion resistance, maintenance is convenient, but opening and closing torque, nominal diameter). (≤200mm). Selection needs to be based on the pipeline characteristics and working environment to ensure that the system is efficient and stable.
