Since 1993, we have been manufacturing industrial valves for applications involving chemicals, oil, gas, steam, slurry, viscous media, and corrosive fluids.
Our Plug Valve range includes 2 Way Plug Valves, 3 Way Plug Valves, Jacketed Plug Valves, and Metal to Metal Plug Valves, with configurations suited to different process conditions and operating requirements. Materials vary by valve type — see CI, DI, SGI, WCB, stainless steel, Duplex, Hastelloy, and Monel across our range.
With 100% in-house manufacturing, including our own casting foundry in Ahmedabad, we maintain greater control over product quality and production reliability. Plug valves can also be configured with pneumatic, manual, electric, or hydraulic operation depending on application requirements, giving industrial buyers greater flexibility when specifying valves for new projects or existing installations.
A Plug Valve is a rotary valve that uses a cylindrical or tapered plug inside the valve body to control the flow of process media. Rotating the plug aligns or blocks the internal flow passage, enabling reliable isolation or flow diversion depending on the valve configuration.
Plug valves are widely used for industrial liquids, gases, chemicals, slurry, viscous media, and other demanding process services. Different designs, including 2-way, 3-way, jacketed, and metal-to-metal plug valves, allow the valve to be selected according to the media, operating conditions, and required flow function.
Plug valves are available in different designs based on flow configuration, sealing arrangement, process media, and operating conditions. At Aira Euro Automation, our plug valve range includes 2 Way, 3 Way, Jacketed, and Metal to Metal configurations for different industrial requirements. Plug valves can also be broadly classified as lubricated and non-lubricated plug valves based on their sealing and operating design.
2 Way Plug Valves provide a straightforward flow path for reliable isolation of process media. Available in flanged and screwed-end configurations, they are suitable for different industrial media, piping arrangements, and operating requirements.
3 Way Plug Valves are designed to direct process media between multiple flow paths. They are suitable for industrial piping systems requiring controlled flow diversion or distribution through a single valve arrangement.
Jacketed Plug Valves are designed for applications where maintaining suitable media conditions through the valve is important, particularly when handling viscous or temperature-sensitive process fluids.

Metal to Metal Plug Valves use a robust metal seating arrangement for demanding process conditions. Depending on the selected configuration, they can be used where higher temperatures, abrasive media, or challenging operating conditions make conventional soft seating less suitable.

A Lubricated Plug Valve uses a lubricant between the plug and valve body to support sealing and reduce friction during operation. This design is commonly considered for demanding services where dependable shut-off and smooth operation are required under challenging process conditions.
A Non-Lubricated Plug Valve operates without continuous lubricant injection and typically relies on its seat or sleeve arrangement to provide sealing between the plug and valve body. This configuration helps reduce routine lubrication requirements and is suitable for applications where lubricant contamination of the process media is undesirable.
Plug valves are widely used in industrial piping systems where reliable isolation, controlled flow routing, and dependable sealing are required. Their rotary operating design provides straightforward operation while supporting a variety of process media and service conditions.
Reliable Flow Isolation
The plug and seat arrangement provides dependable shut-off, helping maintain process integrity in applications handling liquids, gases, chemicals, and other industrial media.
Suitable for Demanding Process Media
Depending on the selected construction, seat, and material combination, Aira Plug Valves can be configured for chemicals, oil, gas, steam, slurry, viscous fluids, and corrosive media.
Multiple Flow Configurations
While 2 Way Plug Valves are primarily used for isolation, 3 Way Plug Valves support flow diversion and distribution requirements, providing greater flexibility in process piping systems.
Flexible Operation
Depending on the valve model and application, operating options include pneumatic actuation, hand lever, worm gear, electrical, and hydraulic operation, allowing the valve to be configured for manual or automated systems.
| Need | Recommended Type | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Simple on/off isolation | 2 Way Plug Valve | Straight inlet-to-outlet flow path, dependable shut-off |
| Routing flow between multiple lines | 3 Way Plug Valve | Enables flow diversion/distribution through one valve |
| Viscous or temperature-sensitive media | Jacketed Plug Valve | Maintains media temperature/consistency through the valve |
| High-temperature, abrasive, or harsh service | Metal to Metal Plug Valve | Robust metal seating where soft seats won’t hold up |
| Corrosive/chemical media | Any type + Duplex, Hastelloy, or Monel body | Material choice matters more than valve type here |
| Compact piping, no welding preferred | Screwed End configuration | Quick assembly, reliable sealing without welding |
| High-pressure, large pipeline | Flanged End configuration | Strong pipe connection, leak-free at higher pressure |
Aira manufactures Plug Valves with a wide range of material, seating, operation, and customization options to meet different process requirements.
Depending on the selected Plug Valve model, certifications and approvals include IBR, Fire Safe, ISO, CE, and SIL3. Buyers should refer to the respective product page or consult our technical team for model-specific certification requirements.
Aira Plug Valves are used across Oil & Gas, Chemical, and Petrochemical industries where reliable isolation and flow management are required under challenging process conditions.
Typical applications include:
The correct valve configuration should always be selected according to the process media, operating pressure, temperature, required flow function, and material compatibility.
