Product Overview
The Gate Valve is the workhorse of industrial fluid control, designed primarily for fully open or fully closed service. Unlike butterfly valves, a gate valve provides an unobstructed flow path when fully open, resulting in minimal pressure drop and turbulence across the valve body.
Robust Wedge and Seat Design
Our valves feature a flexible or solid wedge design that ensures a tight seal even under fluctuating temperatures and pressures. The seating surfaces are precision-machined to match the wedge, providing a bubble-tight shut-off. This design is particularly effective for handling thick liquids or slurries where a clear, straight-through flow is required to prevent sediment buildup.
Rising Stem for Operational Safety
Equipped with a Rising Stem mechanism, these valves provide a clear visual indication of the valve’s position. When the handwheel is turned, the stem moves upward, lifting the gate out of the flow stream. This feature is essential in B2B industrial environments for safety inspections and verifying system status at a glance.
Material Integrity and Pipe Compatibility
Specifically built to integrate with Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 stainless steel piping, our gate valves meet ASME B16.34 and API 603 standards. The use of premium AISI 316L Stainless Steel ensures exceptional resistance to corrosion, pitting, and oxidation, making them suitable for the most aggressive industrial media.
