About Smith-Cooper International 4101 Series Bronze Globe

The Smith-Cooper 4101 Series inline bronze globe valve has a non-rising stem and female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends, and is used to control flow (throttling) in a pipeline or water plumbing system. The valve body is constructed of 85-5-5-5 bronze for higher strength and corrosion resistance than brass, and its brass stem and disc provides corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic. This valve has maximum pressure ratings of 200 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas (WOG) and 125 psig for steam working pressure (SWP). The valve has female NPT threads on both ends for connecting to male pipes with tighter seals than straight threads. This valve meets standards Manufacturers Standardization Society MSS SP-80 for quality assurance. Globe valves control flow rates in a piping system by the lift of a vertical stem and disk, which must be turned to open and close the valve. A seated disc extends into the center of the valve to act as a plug to restrict or open the flow path, depending on how tightly the valve stem is turned. The stem on globe valves can be either rising (moves up as the valve opens) to indicate if the flow is on or off, or non-rising (stem height remains constant when the valve is either open or closed) for use in small spaces. Globe valves are used in various water, gas, air, and steam piping systems that require frequent throttling operations. Smith-Cooper manufactures a wide variety of pipe fittings and valves. The company is headquartered in Commerce, California, and meets relevant ANSI, ASTM, and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9002 standards.
