Description
Leader globe Valve (Screwed in Bonnet, Inside Screw, Rising Stem, Class -1), available 15 mm to 40 mm. Globe valves are built for regulation: flow turns across a disc seated parallel to the line, giving fine control at the cost of a higher pressure drop than a gate valve. With the stem inside the bonnet, the valve occupies the same height open or shut — useful where clearance above the line is limited. The LTB-2 gunmetal body to IS 318 resists dezincification, which is why gunmetal remains the default for potable water rather than a cheaper brass. Parallel BSP threads — the usual small-bore connection, and quick to replace in service. The table above gives the catalogue reference and price for each size in the range.
