Manual valves are a fundamental component in flow control systems, offering straightforward, reliable operation across a wide range of industrial applications. These valves are manually operated using handwheels, levers, or gearboxes, providing direct control over the opening and closing of pipelines. Common types of manual valves include ball valves, gate valves, globe valves, needle valves, and plug valves—each suited to specific functions, pressure ratings, and media types. Whether you’re regulating flow, isolating sections of a system, or throttling pressure, manual valves provide a durable and cost-effective solution.
