Couldn't load pickup availability
The Bronze Plug Cock with Gland – 2 Way is a compact and durable shut-off valve designed for simple on/off control in fluid systems. Featuring a rotating cylindrical plug and gland-packed stem, this valve provides smooth, leak-resistant operation and is ideal for low to medium-pressure applications.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant bronze, it is well-suited for water, air, oil, and non-aggressive fluid services. The gland provides added sealing around the spindle, ensuring safe and reliable performance in industrial, marine, and general-purpose installations.
Key Features:
- 2-way design for straightforward flow control
- Gland-packed stem for leak-resistant sealing
- Bronze body for excellent corrosion resistance
- Compact, robust, and easy to operate
- Suitable for water, air, oil, and light-duty fluids
- Ideal for marine, industrial, and plant systems

FAQ's
What is the difference between a valve and an actuator?
What types of actuators are available?
The main types of actuators are:
Pneumatic actuators – use compressed air for fast, reliable operation.
Electric actuators – use electrical power for precise control.
Hydraulic actuators – use fluid pressure for high-torque applications.
Each type offers unique advantages depending on the environment, media, and system control needs.
How do I choose the right actuator for my valve?
To select the correct actuator, consider:
Valve type and torque requirement
Power source available (air, electric, or hydraulic)
Operating environment (temperature, humidity, hazardous area)
Control signal type (on/off or modulating)
Matching actuator torque and compatibility with the valve’s ISO mounting ensures reliable performance.
What are the main types of valves used in automation?
The most common valves in automated systems include:
Ball valves – for tight shutoff and quick operation.
Butterfly valves – for larger flow control with compact design.
Globe valves – for precise throttling and flow regulation.
Check valves – to prevent backflow.
Gate valves – for full bore flow isolation.
What’s the difference between a double-acting and spring-return actuator?
Double-acting actuators use air (or power) to both open and close the valve.
Spring-return actuators use air to open (or close) the valve, and a built-in spring to automatically return it to a safe position when power or air is lost — ideal for fail-safe operation.
How often should valves and actuators be serviced?
Regular maintenance intervals depend on operating conditions, but a good rule of thumb is to inspect every 6–12 months.
This includes checking for leaks, lubrication, seal wear, and actuator responsiveness to prevent unexpected downtime.
