Chad Fabry Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 This sure looks like a globe valve. Are there any valves that looked like this that were approved for use on a gas line? Click to Enlarge 36.62 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Does not look like a globe valve. sure seems like a common stem seat water valve. maybe a little on the robust side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I find these occasionally on the older houses. Looks like a globe, but it's not. I hope someone knows the answer because I've always wondered about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted November 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I exercised the valve. When it came to the closed position it felt like a cushioned stop like a rubber-washer sealed throttling type valve. The stem travel was almost an inch.

John Kogel Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I see galvanized pipe on the right. Looks like water supply plummin to me. [] You exwercised it? Didn't know you were into exersism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 ...mix of galvy and black is funny too. I shy away from valve exergism out of exigency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Seems like fittings only come as galvanized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearthman Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Looks like a globe valve to me. See the radiused belly (which is at the top since this is hanging like a pendant)? Rising stem, soft seat, bonnet nut, not quarter turn--yep. Valves approved for gas must carry an outward stamp or listing mark: CSA, AGA, UL, etc. The current approval is ANSI Z21.15 Write it up.
