Gate valves are crucial components in systems requiring fluid flow isolation. While they excel at completely opening or closing the flow, they are not intended for flow regulation or control. The valve operates by moving a gate up or down via the stem, allowing for minimal pressure loss when fully open, making them ideal for scenarios where maintaining pressure is critical.
Available in a range of configurations, gate valves are suitable for domestic, commercial, industrial, and irrigation applications. They can also feature handles or lockshields for enhanced security, ensuring operation is restricted to authorised personnel only.
