Description

Gate Valve is a type of valve designed to either fully open or fully close the flow of fluid in a piping system. It uses a gate-like disc that moves up and down to block or allow flow, helping to minimize pressure loss and enable efficient fluid passage.

Features of Gate Valve

Allows unobstructed flow with minimal resistance when fully open
Reduces pressure loss in the system
Withstands high pressure and high temperatures
Ideal for systems requiring full open-close flow control
Constructed from durable materials such as cast iron, stainless steel, and brass

Types of Gate Valve

Rising Stem Gate Valve: The stem rises to indicate the valve’s position, suitable for applications where visibility of valve status is needed
Non-Rising Stem Gate Valve: The stem does not move upward, ideal for installations with limited space
Wedge Gate Valve: Features a wedge-shaped gate for tight sealing and reduced leakage
Parallel Gate Valve: Uses two flat gate surfaces for enhanced sealing performance
