Globe valves are built for regulating flow in a pipeline by raising or lowering a movable disc against the flow path, allowing precise throttling and reliable shutoff. Globe valves are named for their round, or globular, body. Globes are picked where throttling may be required, which allows the valve to be in between the full open or closed positions.

Socket weld pipe connections are used in high temperature and high-pressure environments. Socket weld pipe connections feature a smooth internal bore sized to match the outer diameter of the pipe. The pipe end is inserted into the socket and then fillet welded around the joint, forming a strong, leak-tight seal. Socket weld connections are popular in smaller sized fittings and are permanent.

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin - often combined with additional elements to change the properties of the component material. It is durable, resistant to corrosion, and has a high melting point. Bronze is a highly versatile material utilized in many contexts including marine and seawater applications.
