Description
Plug Valves (Lubricated / Sleeved) – Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania
Product Description
Plug Valves control flow using a cylindrical or tapered plug with a through-port that aligns with the pipeline during operation. A quarter-turn of the handle opens or closes the valve, providing quick and reliable isolation.
At Opal Industrial Solutions, lubricated plug valves handle high-pressure and high-temperature services, while sleeved plug valves suit corrosive applications requiring low friction and tight sealing. These valves support oil and gas processing, chemical handling, and slurry systems across East Africa.
