Yes it is possible to use it, but plug valves are not generally designed for the regulation of flow.

Plug valves are more like a gate valve and are not intended for throttling

If you want to isolate an entire bathroom with 2 valves rather then a shower with integral stops and do not want individual valves for the other fixtures then I would recommend a tile stop

If your just using a valve to a fixture such as a basin etc then a Globe pattern is the correct choice

Ball valves are NOT intended for throttling . Globe valves are
