Description
Midland 316 Stainless Steel Globe Valve
Midland 316 Stainless Steel Globe Valves are designed for dependable throttling, flow regulation, and shutoff in commercial and industrial piping systems.
Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, these valves use a rising stem and handwheel to provide controlled manual adjustment of flow. The globe-style internal flow path and precision-machined disc and seat make this valve well suited for applications where more accurate regulation is required than with a typical gate valve.

Valve Configuration
Female Threaded Ends
Female threaded pipe connections provide straightforward installation into compatible commercial and industrial piping systems.
Rising Stem
The stem rises as the valve opens, providing a clear visual indication of valve position during manual operation.
Disc & Seat
The internal disc moves toward or away from the seat to provide controlled flow adjustment and dependable shutoff.
Construction Details
The 316 stainless steel body provides excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for demanding compatible service environments.
A precision-machined disc and seat help provide smooth throttling characteristics and reliable sealing when the valve is fully closed.
The rising stem and handwheel configuration allows gradual multi-turn adjustment, giving the operator more control over flow than a simple quarter-turn isolation valve.
Why Choose a Globe Valve?
Accurate Flow Regulation
- Designed for throttling service
- Multi-turn handwheel control
- Gradual disc movement
- Allows finer flow adjustment
- Useful where controlled flow is required
Dependable Shutoff
- Disc seats firmly when fully closed
- Provides positive isolation
- Suitable for repeated operation
- Rising stem indicates valve position
- Useful in commercial and industrial systems
316 Stainless Steel Construction
Corrosion Resistance
316 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to corrosion in many compatible water, steam, air, oil, and process applications.
Demanding Service
The stainless steel construction is well suited for industrial environments where durability and resistance to corrosion are important.
Rising Stem Design
Visual Position Indication
As the valve opens, the stem rises above the handwheel assembly, making it easier to identify whether the valve is open, closed, or partially open.
Installation Clearance
Because the stem rises during operation, adequate vertical clearance should be provided above the valve during installation.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Industrial Systems
- Mechanical piping
- Industrial utility systems
- Process piping
- Equipment flow control
- Plant service piping
Compatible Media
- Water
- Steam
- Compressed air
- Oil
- Compatible process fluids
Globe Valve vs. Gate Valve
Globe Valve
A globe valve is designed for both shutoff and controlled throttling. Its disc moves toward or away from the seat to allow gradual adjustment of flow.
Gate Valve
A gate valve is primarily intended for full-open or full-closed isolation and generally should not be used for continuous throttling service.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

Can this valve be used for throttling?
Yes. Globe valves are specifically well suited for throttling and controlled flow regulation.
What does rising stem mean?
The valve stem moves upward as the valve opens, providing a visual indication of valve position.
How is the valve operated?
The valve uses a manual handwheel with multi-turn operation.
What media can this valve handle?
The supplied information identifies water, steam, air, oil, and other compatible process media, subject to pressure, temperature, and material limitations.
Does installation direction matter?
Install according to the flow direction indicated on the valve body whenever one is provided by the manufacturer.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm valve size, thread compatibility, pressure and temperature requirements, media compatibility, flow direction, and available stem clearance.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for Midland 316 Stainless Steel Globe Valves.
- Confirm the required valve size before ordering.
- Verify female thread compatibility with the intended piping system.
- Confirm 316 stainless steel compatibility with the intended media.
- Verify pressure and operating temperature requirements.
- Install according to the flow direction marked on the valve body when applicable.
- Provide adequate vertical clearance for the rising stem.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant where permitted.
- Avoid excessive installation torque that could damage the body or threaded connections.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical load on the valve.
- Use the handwheel for gradual flow adjustment rather than forcing the valve.
- Do not apply excessive force if the stem or disc becomes difficult to move.
- Fully isolate and depressurize the piping system before maintenance.
- Verify valve position and smooth operation after installation.
- Install according to applicable piping codes, project requirements, and manufacturer recommendations.
