Valve Configuration
Flanged Inlet
The inlet flange provides a secure bolted connection to a compatible mating flange in the piping system.
Resilient Wedge Body
The resilient encapsulated wedge moves through the valve body to provide full-open flow or dependable full-closed isolation.
Flanged Outlet
The outlet flange connects to the downstream mating flange using appropriate gasket and bolting components.
Construction Details
The Midland AWWA C515 gate valve uses a heavy-duty ductile iron body designed for strength and long-term durability in demanding waterworks applications.
A resilient encapsulated wedge provides dependable sealing performance while helping minimize operating torque.
The stainless steel non-rising stem provides corrosion resistance and keeps stem movement contained within the valve assembly, making the valve well suited for installations with limited vertical clearance.
Why Choose an AWWA C515 Gate Valve?
Waterworks Performance
- Manufactured to AWWA C515 requirements
- 300 PSI working pressure rating
- Resilient seated shutoff
- Ductile iron construction
- Designed for long-term municipal service
Flanged Installation
- Flanged connections on both ends
- Secure bolted piping connection
- Suitable for standard pipeline installations
- Serviceable connection arrangement
- Available in multiple nominal sizes
Non-Rising Stem Design
Compact Operation
The non-rising stem remains within the valve assembly as the valve opens and closes, reducing required vertical operating clearance.
Protected Stem
The stem remains largely contained within the valve body and bonnet instead of extending upward during operation.
Resilient Wedge Design
Positive Shutoff
The resilient wedge provides a flexible sealing surface designed to support dependable isolation in compatible water service.
Smooth Operation
The resilient seating design helps reduce friction and operating torque compared with traditional metal-to-metal seating arrangements.
Typical Applications
Municipal & Waterworks Systems
- Municipal water distribution
- Water transmission piping
- Potable water infrastructure
- Water treatment facilities
- Utility isolation points
Irrigation & Industrial Water Systems
- Irrigation mains
- Industrial water piping
- Plant utility systems
- Commercial water distribution
- Compatible general water service
Non-Rising Stem vs. Rising Stem Gate Valve
Non-Rising Stem
A non-rising stem remains within the valve assembly during operation, reducing vertical clearance requirements and providing a compact installation profile.
Rising Stem
A rising stem moves vertically as the valve opens and closes, providing a visible indication of gate position but requiring additional clearance above the valve.
Our valve, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your valve size, FIP connection requirements, pressure rating, handle configuration, media compatibility, and application before you order.

What is a resilient seated gate valve?
A resilient seated gate valve uses an elastomer-covered wedge designed to provide dependable sealing against the valve seating surfaces.
Is this valve intended for potable water service?
The supplied product information identifies potable water and general waterworks applications as intended uses.
Can this gate valve be used for throttling?
Gate valves are generally intended for full-open or full-closed isolation service rather than routine throttling.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal valve size, flange drilling and dimensions, pressure requirements, installation clearance, water service requirements, and project specifications before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- This listing is for a Midland AWWA C515 Non-Rising Stem Resilient Seated Gate Valve.
- Connection configuration is flanged x flanged.
- Available sizes are 2", 2-1/2", 3", 4", 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18".
- The supplied product information lists a 300 PSI working pressure rating.
- Confirm the required nominal valve size before ordering.
- Verify flange drilling, bolt pattern, dimensions, and mating flange compatibility.
- Use appropriate flange gaskets and bolting for the installation.
- Ensure mating flanges and connected piping are properly aligned before tightening hardware.
- Do not use flange bolts to force misaligned piping into position.
