Yes this answered the question, which of course was the answer I thought but
was prompted to ask anyway. Thanks all.

Subject: RE: Definition

An OS&Y is one type of indicating valve. A Post Indicating Valve (PIV) would
also fall into that category. It wouldn't HAVE to specifically be an Outside
Stem/Screw and Yoke valve.

The indicating portion would be signage as part of the valve showing "OPEN"
or "SHUT/CLOSED" or some other means to clearly show the valve position.

Not sure if that answered the question though!

Can anyone give me a definition of "indicating shut-off valve". My guess is
that it is an OS & Y but don't know.
