Description

A gate valve is a linear motion valve used to start or stop fluid flow. It functions by lifting a gate out of the fluid path, allowing straight-line flow with minimal restriction—ideal for on/off applications in water, gas, and oil systems.

Features

  • On/Off Control: Full open/close functionality
  • Straight-Through Flow: Minimal pressure drop
  • Stem Options: Rising or non-rising stem types
  • End Types: Flanged, threaded, or welded
  • Body Material: Cast Iron, Ductile Iron, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel
  • Wedge Options: Solid, flexible, or split wedge
  • Size Range: ½” to 48”

Advantages

  • Excellent for isolation — full bore means no flow obstruction
  • Low pressure drop when fully open
  • Bidirectional flow — works in either direction
  • Simple design — easy maintenance and long service life
  • Wide range of materials available for corrosive or high-temp applications

Limitations

  • Slow operation — requires multiple turns to open/close
  • Not suitable for throttling — partial opening can damage disc/seat
  • Gate vibration — can cause wear over time
  • Larger footprint compared to ball or globe valves
  • Can trap debris in dirty systems
