In a valve housing modular system, different configurations for a globe valve arranged to adjust a process fluid flow are provided. The globe valve can have a globe valve member movable in translation along a stroke axis. The system can include a housing corpus with a process fluid inlet and outlet, a process fluid passage arranged therebetween, and an actuating opening to introduce the rod for actuating the globe valve member along the stroke axis; and a housing cover for covering the actuating opening. The system can include different adapters for the different functional/structural configurations.
