Globe valves

Has anyone used Webstone globe valves for flow balancing? They are pennies on the dollar when compared to most other brands like Honeywell, for example.

    Without test ports how would you know when you are balanced properly? Add a flowmeter somewhere? Or by temperature differential?

    Were talking 2". Both Supply and return temp gauges and also pressure ports on the pumps.

    Yes -- been using the 1/2" and 3/4" ones on drainback solar systems for a little over a year now. No problems to date.
