Ari Armaturen Globe Valves: Precision, Durability, and Control

Ari Armaturen Globe Valves are engineered to offer precise flow regulation and dependable shut-off in demanding applications. These valves are ideally suited for throttling duties, particularly where flow control, noise reduction, and tight sealing are required. Designed with a linear motion plug that moves perpendicularly to the seat, they provide excellent control characteristics.

Common applications include steam systems, heating and cooling lines, and high-pressure liquid or gas services. Ari’s globe valves are available in a range of materials, pressure ratings, and actuation options to suit both manual and automated systems.


The FABA+ Bellows Sealed Globe Valve

The Ari Armaturen FABA+ Globe Valve is a bellows sealed design that delivers enhanced safety and leak-free operation, especially for steam, condensate, and hazardous media. Its key feature is a fully enclosed stainless steel bellows that isolates the stem from the flow, eliminating gland packing and minimising emissions.

Available in PN16, PN25, PN40, and ANSI flange patterns, the FABA+ is constructed from nodular iron, cast steel, or stainless steel. The flexible modular system allows for a wide selection of trims, actuators, and accessories, making it suitable for everything from district heating to chemical processing.

Whether you need high-temperature resistance, vacuum-tight sealing, or long-term reliability, the FABA+ Globe Valve is engineered to perform under pressure—literally.


The STOBU Gland Packed Globe Valve

For standard throttling and isolation applications, the Ari Armaturen STOBU Globe Valve offers robust performance with a traditional gland packing system. Available with flanged connections and in materials such as nodular iron, cast steel, and stainless steel, the STOBU range is ideal for water, steam, and oil-based systems.

This valve provides an economical yet dependable solution where bellows sealing may not be necessary. Designed to withstand high operating pressures and temperatures, the STOBU Globe Valve maintains tight shut-off characteristics over extended periods of use. It’s widely used in heating systems, boiler circuits, and general pipeline duties.
