Valve Symbols Legend CAD for P&ID (Ball, Gate, Globe, Check)

This Valve Symbols Legend CAD sheet helps you create clear, consistent P&ID and piping schematics. It includes common valve types and typical symbol variations used in engineering drawings—useful for design, shop drawings, and coordination.

Symbols included in this legend

  • Ball valve (open / close)

  • Gate valve (open / closed) + gate valve (parallel slide)

  • Globe valve (open / close) + standard globe valve

  • Plug valve
