Clients looking for economical water distribution and control will be happy with our globe valves from brands like Nibco and Superior. The irrigation globe valve is a type of throttling valve popular for commercial irrigation. Its design lets users control the flow rate and produces a sizable pressure drop, which is ideal when the source PSI is too high to be workable. They also have positive shutoff so water doesn’t immediately surge through the valve when you open it. Note a backflow preventer will need to be added separately if the client desires.

Install a manual FIPT globe valve in high-PSI systems to effectively manage water flow. Most globe sprinkler valves are made of heavy-duty brass or bronze — but if you have a residential customer who can benefit from a globe valve, glass-filled plastic valves are an affordable solution.
