Product Overview

The needle-valve design offers finer flow control than a conventional plug valve, which makes it popular in South Africa and Zimbabwe where users expect to modulate the flame rather than simply open or close the supply.

The needle and seat are both brass with a nitrile tip on the needle, giving a progressive shut-off that is less prone to the sudden pressure spike a plug valve produces when it is cracked open. The valve is supplied with a handwheel as standard and a spanner flat on the body for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a needle valve over a plug valve?
A needle valve gives progressive, fine flow control, so the flame can be modulated instead of just switched on and off. It also avoids the small pressure spike a plug valve produces when it is first cracked open, which means less risk of a flame flare-up when lighting a burner.
