Where is the basic screw valve?

[edit]

This article does not list probably the most common type of valve, the screw valve, which typically has a knob or handle that requires many turns to go from all the way open to all the way closed. Garden hose faucets are almost always of this type. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:56, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those often seem to be globe valves. Definitely an unexpected name, and hard to find it unless you already know. DMacks (talk) 09:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
