The oldest design of valve comprising of a body
with a tapered, or less frequently, a parallel plug.
Design variants include Non-lubricated, Fluoropolymer
sleeved, Lubricated and Pressure balanced designs.
Principally designed for on/off isolation of fluids
they have inherent quick opening flow characteristics
similar to ball valves, although specially designed
eccentric plug designs may be used for flow control
applications. They can be automated by
means of quarter-turn actuators.
