Description
AWWA Gate Valve – Mechanical Joint, Figure 10MN
Figure 10MN AWWA Gate Valve is a ductile iron mechanical-joint gate valve designed for water-distribution, municipal, utility, commercial, and industrial service. The valve features a stainless steel non-rising stem, bronze wedge nut, fusion-bonded epoxy coating, wax-encapsulated cap screws, and mechanical-joint end connections for integration into compatible water piping systems.
Rated for 250 lb. non-shock cold working pressure, the Figure 10MN meets AWWA C515 requirements and provides a durable isolation-valve solution for mechanical-joint water-distribution systems.

What Is an AWWA Gate Valve?
An AWWA gate valve is designed to isolate sections of a water piping system by raising or lowering an internal gate or wedge. When fully open, the valve provides a relatively unobstructed flow path. When fully closed, the wedge seats to stop flow through the line.
Gate valves are primarily intended for fully open or fully closed service rather than throttling or continuous flow regulation.
Mechanical Joint Configuration
The Figure 10MN uses mechanical-joint end connections for integration into compatible water-distribution piping. Mechanical joints use a gasket, gland, and bolting assembly to create a sealed connection between compatible valve and piping components.
Confirm that mechanical-joint connections are required on both ends of the valve before ordering.
Mechanical Joint vs. Flanged Gate Valve
Mechanical Joint – Figure 10MN
- Mechanical-joint end connections
- Common in buried municipal water systems
- Designed for compatible mechanical-joint pipe and fittings
- Uses mechanical-joint gasket, gland, and bolting components
- Well suited for utility and water-distribution installations
Flanged Gate Valve
- Flanged connections on the valve ends
- Bolted and serviceable piping connection
- Common in exposed mechanical and equipment installations
- Requires compatible mating flanges
- Different connection configuration from Figure 10MN
Non-Rising Stem Design
The Figure 10MN uses a stainless steel non-rising stem. In a non-rising stem gate valve, the stem rotates during operation without extending significantly above the valve body as the gate moves.
This compact operating arrangement is especially useful in buried, vault, utility, and other installations where available vertical clearance may be limited.
Construction Details
- Body: Ductile iron
- Bonnet: Ductile iron
- Stem: Stainless steel, non-rising
- Wedge Nut: Bronze
- Coating: Fusion-bonded epoxy
- Cap Screws: Wax encapsulated
Fusion-Bonded Epoxy Coating
The Figure 10MN features a fusion-bonded epoxy coating to provide corrosion protection for the ductile iron valve surfaces.
Common Applications
Municipal & Utility Water Systems
- Municipal water distribution
- Buried water mains

Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the required valve size and Figure 10MN mechanical-joint configuration before ordering.
- Verify that the 250 lb. non-shock CWP rating is suitable for the intended system.
- Confirm mechanical-joint pipe, gasket, gland, bolting, and accessory compatibility before installation.
- Properly align and support the connected piping and avoid using joint hardware to force misaligned piping into position.
- Review the supplied ASC technical sheet for applicable dimensions and manufacturer product information before final selection and installation.
