Adjusting flow and pressure is not as convenient as using a plug valve.

Can a plug valve also be used as a control valve? Ball valves need to be V-port ball valves in order to allow regulation, right? If regulation is required, can a single-seat valve be used instead?

A plug valve is essentially a modified version of a ball valve; therefore, in theory, a ball valve can replace a plug valve!

It’s not only V-ball valves that can be used for regulation; the choice depends on the specific operating conditions, and there are regulation ball valves available worldwide as well`
