Gate valve

A gate valve is designed for full isolation in either the fully open or fully closed position. Lifting the gate from the flow path produces low pressure loss when open, but multi-turn travel, operating time and seat sensitivity make it unsuitable for continuous throttling.

Application and duty

Lines where the valve normally operates fully open or fully closed
