Globe valve is wheel based valves which when turned on reduces the flow of water though a pipeline by a set of stationary ring seat in a spherical body. Globe valves contain a spherical area, separated into 2 halves by an opening that forms a seat. On this seat, a plug can be screwed, using the wheel that can control the flow of water or stop it altogether.
It is difficult to understand if a globe valve is open or close, especially if it is partially open. Furthermore, it cannot be operated single handedly, as in the case of ball valve.
