An On/Off valve, also known as a shut-off valve, is a type of valve that allows or prevents the flow of a fluid. These valves are typically used in a fully open or fully closed position, hence the name “On/Off”. They are essential components in various industries and systems, including oil and gas, water treatment, HVAC systems, and more.

On/Off valves come in various types, including gate valves, globe valves, ball valves, butterfly valves, and more, each with its unique design and function. For instance, gate valves open by moving a gate out of the fluid’s way, while ball valves use a spherical disc to control the flow.

The specific application of an On/Off valve can vary based on the needs and processes of each industry. They are often used for routing process fluid, starting and stopping processes, emergency shutoff, and more. Despite their simplicity, On/Off valves play a crucial role in controlling and managing fluid flow in various systems and processes. It’s always a good idea to consult with industry experts when choosing the right valve for your specific needs.
