Custom Size Pressure Seal Gate Valve , Forged Gate Valve On Off Type
Gate valves
gate valves are normally used for on-off service. They are not recommended for throttling service.
Gate valves are normally installed in horizontal pipe runs with the valve stem vertically up. They can also be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs with the valve stem other than vertical, but special construction may be required depending on valve size, service conditions and material. When purchasing valves for other than the normal installation, valve orientation should be specified when consulting the factory.
After closing a gate valve with sufficient force to develop shutoff, the stem should be backed off slightly (1/8 to 1/4 turn) to relieve stem load. This will enable the stem to expand slightly without bending or damaging the valve and will not affect valve shutoff.
Gate valves are offered in two designs: Parallel Disc and Flexible Wedge. Parallel Disc are position seated; Flexible Wedge are torque seated when closing.
