Infact, they were developed for use in citywide Roman plumbing systems and remain as one of the most widely used valves for both on/off and throttling services. They are a kind of rotational motion valves which are used to stop or start fluid flow. They are so called because of the shape of the disk, which resembles a plug.

- Uses of plug valves:
- Plug valves are high capacity valves that are found widely in-
- - low-pressure sanitary applications and
- - industrial applications, like petroleum pipelines, chemical processing and related fields, and power plants.
- They are extremely versatile valves that can be used for directional flow control.
- They can be used even in moderate vacuum systems.
- Plug valves can efficiently handle gas and liquid fuel.
- They can safely handle extreme temperature flow, such as boiler feed water, condensate, and other such elements.
- Plug valves can be used to regulate the flow of liquids containing suspended solids, for example, slurries.
