Smith Y162 Y Pattern Globe Valve Socket Weld Rising Stem

The Smith Y162 Y-pattern globe valve is a bonnetless, full-port control valve sized at 1 inch with socket-weld ends and a rising stem, built in forged steel for high-strength service. It features an outside stem and yoke (OS&Y) for easy visual confirmation of stem travel and straightforward packing maintenance, and the rising stem indicates the handwheel movement is visible as the valve opens. The Y162 is rated Class 1690 and manufactured to API 602 and ASME B16.34 standards, ensuring robust performance in demanding piping systems. Its Y-pattern flow path reduces turbulence and pressure loss compared with conventional globe designs while preserving precise throttling control and full-port seating for maximum flow when fully open. Socket-weld ends provide a compact weld profile and strong joint integrity, making it well-suited for clean, leak-tight connections in piping networks where a bonnetless configuration and high reliability matter. This valve is intended for general flow-control applications requiring durable, repeatable positioning and reliable shutoff in high-pressure services.
