African Valve is the best Lubricated plug valve supplier in South Africa. It is a type of valve used to control the flow of fluids. The valve consists of a cylindrical or tapered plug that can be rotated within the valve body to control the flow of fluid through the valve. They are lubricated to reduce friction and wear between the plug and valve body to provide tight seals and protect the valve surfaces from corrosion and wear, ensuring smooth operation and longevity. The lubricant enhances the sealing effectiveness by filling in any gaps or irregularities between the sealing surfaces. They operated by turning a plug by 90 degrees to either allow or stop the flow of fluids. When the actuator or handwheel is turned it rotates the plug to align with the inlet and outlet ports, provide smooth flow of fluids, and when close the actuator is turned in opposite direction, rotates the plug and blocks the passage, creating a tight seal and preventing leakage.

They are used in a wide range of industry industries where precise flow control and reliable sealing is necessary, such as in oil and gas, petrochemical, and water treatment.
