Plug Valves
What are Plug Valves?
Plug Valves are quarter-turn valves that use a cylindrical or conically tapered plug to control fluid flow through a passage. Known for their simple design and quick operation, they are ideal for on/off and moderate throttling services in various hygienic and industrial applications.
Asiad Steel Industries is a trusted supplier of precision-engineered Plug Valves for dairy, beverage, and food processing lines. Our valves ensure zero contamination and leak-proof performance in critical sanitary environments.
