- Size Range: 2" (50mm) to 48" (1200mm)
- Pressure Rating: PN10, PN16, or ANSI 150#
- Temperature Range: -20°F to 500°F (-29°C to 260°C), depending on the material
- Body Materials: Cast iron, ductile iron, stainless steel (304, 316), carbon steel, or alloy steel
- Gate Material: Stainless steel (304, 316), hardened steel, or special alloys for abrasion resistance
- Seat Material: EPDM, NBR, PTFE, metal seats, or other elastomers based on application
- Actuation Options: Manual (handwheel, lever), Pneumatic, Electric, or Hydraulic actuators
- End Connections: Lug, wafer, or flanged design to fit standard pipelines
- Leakage Class: Zero leakage for resilient seated versions, Class IV or V for metal seated versions
- Flow Direction: Bi-directional or uni-directional, depending on the model
- Unobstructed Flow: Full port design minimizes flow resistance, ensuring efficient operation with minimal pressure drop.
- High Performance in Tough Conditions: Ideal for thick fluids, slurries, or abrasive media; the sharp blade cuts through solids, preventing clogging.
- Low Maintenance: Minimal moving parts reduce wear and tear, leading to long service intervals and reduced operational costs.
- Compact Design: Space-saving construction allows for easy installation in tight spaces, including retrofits.
- Versatile Material Options: Available in a variety of body and gate materials, tailored for different industrial applications (corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, etc.).
- Manual or Automated: Options for manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuation offer flexibility for various operational needs.
- Bubble-tight Sealing: The resilient seated versions provide a bubble-tight shutoff, preventing leakage and ensuring process integrity.
- Easy to Operate: Low-torque requirement for manual operation and smooth action due to the knife-edge gate design.
- End Connection Flexibility: Lug, wafer, or flanged connections allow easy integration into existing or new piping systems.
- Corrosion Resistance: Materials like stainless steel and special alloys ensure longevity, even in corrosive or abrasive environments.
