Gate Valves

Gate Valves function is to isolate or sectionalise any piece of equipment or length of pipeline in water or sewage systems.

It is normal practice, therefore, to use them on a suction and delivery branches of pumps at regular intervals along a pipeline, at branches underneath air valves, on bye-passes, on drains or washouts etc.

They have a low head loss coefficient, hence are ideal on pump installations to maximise system efficiency.
