- outside screw and yoke;

- rotating rising stems and nonrotating rising stems;

- rising handwheels and nonrising handwheels;

- straight pattern, y-pattern, right-angle;

- plug, narrow, conical, ball, or guided disc;

- metallic seating surfaces;

- flanged or butt-welding ends.

It covers valves of the nominal pipe sizes NPS:
