Jacketed Plug Valve

Valvesonly is the foremost Jacketed Plug Valve Manufacturer in USA. A Jacketed plug valve is an unusual type of plug valve designed with heating jackets. These heating jackets contain a hot medium used to add heat to the media flowing through the plug valve to ensure the fluid viscosity remains low to keep away from crystallization. It is also known as a heating jacket.

The Plug Valve is a quarter-turn rotary motion manual valve. It offers a straightway passage through the ports so that fluid can flow through the opening plug (cylindrical or tapered plug) with a minimum of turbulence. The plug Valve is different from other valves due to its plug disc design.

An important feature of the plug valve is its ease to adapt to multiport construction and these ports are widely used. It gives benefits like simplified piping and installation, and the elimination of costly pipe fitting.

Advantages of jacketed plug valve:

• These valves are cheaper compared to other valves.
• It operates faster.
• It can be used in both high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
• They have high strength.
• They are of simple design.
• It is easy to install and repair.

Disadvantages of jacketed plug valve:

• It is not best for throttling flow.
• They reduce flow pressure by a great margin.
• It needs a lot of torque to open/close due to high initial force.

Industries of jacketed plug valve:

• Chemical Industry
• Oil piping Industry
