The Y Globe Valve is a common industrial valve named for its unique Y-shaped design. It is typically used to shut off or regulate fluid flow and is characterized by its simple structure, easy operation, and excellent sealing performance. Y Globe Valves are used as an alternative for the high pressure drop inherent in standard globe valves. The Y type design reduces the flow resistance of the globe valve to a minimum. Seat and stem are angled at approximately 45 degrees, which gives a straighter flow-path at full opening and offers the least resistance to flow. These valves are used for throttling during seasonal or startup operations.
