Provide two advantages of plug valves:
Simple design and fewer parts. Provides a reliable leak-tight service.
Provide two disadvantages of plug valves:
Actuators are required for larger valves and the pressure drop is more due to reducing port

Extension spindle
Name the two general types of gate valves.
Parallel and Wedge
This type of gate valve has a flat disc plate between two parallel seats.
Parallel Gate Valves
What is the purpose of the springs between the two discs in the conventional parallel gate valves?
Keep the upstream and downstream seats in sliding contact with the body and to improve the seating load at low fluid pressures.
Identify the type of gate valve
Through-Conduit Gate Valve
