DRP Globe Valves

About the DRP globe valves range

Every DRP globe valve we supply is listed on this page: 12 families spanning 8 mm to 100 mm, in 2 body materials.

A forged-steel globe valve carrying a boiler-regulation certification is not a premium version of the same cast valve one class down — it is built and tested to a different, legally mandated standard because the duty (steam, high pressure, a boiler feed line) carries a consequence a certified valve exists specifically to control. That certification is what a specification naming it is actually asking for, not an optional extra.

The DRP range here is supplied in gunmetal to IS 318 LTB-2 for potable and general water service and bronze for water and low-pressure steam. The medium chooses the material. Cost only breaks a tie between two bodies that both suit the duty, and a body that fails on temperature is not cheaper for having cost less.

Bores available are 8–25 mm, 32–50 mm and 65–100 mm. Above roughly 50 mm the pattern shifts to flanged cast bodies, and flange drilling, weight and lifting become part of the order rather than an afterthought.

End connections run to Screwed BSP (parallel) and Flanged. The connection has to be settled against the mating pipework before a size is ordered — a flanged valve and a screwed one are not interchangeable on an installed line.

Products in this range are built to IS 778 and JIS 5K. The standard is what a consultant writes into a specification, so it is worth quoting it on the enquiry.

Works test certificates and material certificates can be supplied with the consignment where the standard calls for them, but they have to be asked for at the time of order rather than afterwards.

When you send an enquiry for globe valves, include the medium and the working temperature, which decide bonnet and trim alongside the sizes and quantities. It is the detail that most often has to be chased before a quotation can be priced, and supplying it up front saves a round trip.

Prices are ex-GST list. Where a size is not shown, ask — the range extends beyond what is held as standard.
