gas valve

[Chad Fabry]

This sure looks like a globe valve. Are there any valves that looked like this that were approved for use on a gas line?

Does not look like a globe valve. sure seems like a common stem seat water valve. maybe a little on the robust side.

I find these occasionally on the older houses. Looks like a globe, but it's not. I hope someone knows the answer because I've always wondered about this.

I exercised the valve. When it came to the closed position it felt like a cushioned stop like a rubber-washer sealed throttling type valve. The stem travel was almost an inch.

I see galvanized pipe on the right. Looks like water supply plummin to me. []

You exwercised it? Didn't know you were into exersism.

...mix of galvy and black is funny too. I shy away from valve exergism out of exigency.

Seems like fittings only come as galvanized?

They come in black.

Looks like a globe valve to me. See the radiused belly (which is at the top since this is hanging like a pendant)? Rising stem, soft seat, bonnet nut, not quarter turn--yep. Valves approved for gas must carry an outward stamp or listing mark: CSA, AGA, UL, etc. The current approval is ANSI Z21.15
