Plug valves are one of the most popular category of pipe vales used in variety of applications. Also known as cock or stop-cock valves, plug valves have been in use since a long period of time. Infact, they were developed for use in citywide Roman plumbing systems and remain as one of the most widely used valves for both on/off and throttling services. They are a kind of rotational motion valves which are used to stop or start fluid flow. They are so called because of the shape of the disk, which resembles a plug.

Uses of plug valves:
Plug valves are high capacity valves that are found widely in-
- low-pressure sanitary applications and
- industrial applications, like petroleum pipelines, chemical processing and related fields, and power plants.
They are extremely versatile valves that can be used for directional flow control.
They can be used even in moderate vacuum systems.
Plug valves can efficiently handle gas and liquid fuel.
They can safely handle extreme temperature flow, such as boiler feed water, condensate, and other such elements.
Plug valves can be used to regulate the flow of liquids containing suspended solids, for example, slurries.
