Gate Valve Operation
Inlet Connection
The valve installs inline with compatible piping to provide a dedicated isolation point within the system.
Internal Gate
Turning the handwheel raises or lowers the internal gate to open or close the flow path through the valve.
Outlet Connection
The opposite end continues the piping run to downstream equipment, fixtures, valves, or other compatible components.
Construction Details
The forged brass valve body provides dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life under compatible operating conditions.
A heavy-duty cast iron handwheel provides positive manual control for opening and closing the valve.
The gate design is intended primarily for full-open or full-closed service, allowing the valve to isolate sections of piping during normal operation, maintenance, or repair.
Why Choose a Gate Valve?
Positive Shutoff
- Designed for on/off service
- Provides manual system isolation
- Multi-turn operation
- Useful for maintenance shutoff points
- Suitable for compatible piping systems
Forged Brass Construction
- Durable brass body
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Lead-free construction
- Suitable for compatible plumbing applications
- Designed for long service life
Gate Valve vs. Ball Valve
Gate Valve
A gate valve uses a multi-turn handwheel to raise or lower an internal gate and is generally intended for fully open or fully closed operation.
Ball Valve
A ball valve typically uses a quarter-turn handle and rotating ball to provide quick shutoff. Valve selection depends on the piping system and operating requirements.
Typical Applications
Plumbing Systems
- Cold water piping
- Residential plumbing
- Commercial plumbing
- System isolation points
- Maintenance shutoff locations
Compatible Utility Service
- Cold water
- Gas
- Oil
- Light industrial piping
- General compatible fluid service
Pressure Rating
The supplied product information identifies this valve with a maximum pressure rating of 200 PSI WOG.
Always verify the operating pressure, temperature, media, and installation requirements of the specific system before placing the valve into service.
Our plumbing specialists can help review the 3/4" connection, 200 PSI WOG rating, system media, temperature, and installation requirements before you order.
