General Manual Valves

Manual Valves. Devices that regulate the flow of gases or liquids by opening, closing, or partially obstructing passageways. Valves are used in a variety of applications including industrial, military, commercial, residential, and transportation. The valves most obvious in everyday life are plumbing valves such as, water taps, gas control valves on appliances, and safety devices fitted to hot water systems. Most manual valves are operated by a hand wheel or a lever, although some are self operating, controlled by internal mechanisms driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow.
