All contact between seat and disc ends when flow begins. These are advantages for more efficient throttling of flow, with minimum wire drawing and seat erosion.

Valve disk and seat in most globe valves can be conventionally repaired or replaced - often without removing the valve body from the line.

Shorter disk travel - with fewer turns required to operate globe valves saves considerable time and work, also wear on valve parts.

Typical globe valves in the John Valves range are our figure numbers 1, 101, 501 and 201, and more details may be found in our Online Valve Catalogue.

Conclusion: Globe Valves, whilst not recommended where resistance to flow and pressure drop would be objectionable, are generally ideal for throttling, and preferable for frequent operation.
