SELLING POINTS: Passes the same quantity of steam as a full-bore valve. Seats half diameter of ordinary sluice valve, therefore halves possible leakage. Graded opening — no sudden rush of steam in opening. Is not subject to wedging action or mechanical strain. When the valve is open the seats are protected from the flowing fluid by the eyepiece.
